Valhalla Game Studios

Nintendo released a new Japanese introduction video for Devil’s Third today. Give it a look below.

Yesterday, Valhalla Game Studios announced that a PC version of Devil’s Third is in development. This won’t include the story mode featured on Wii U, though it will come with free-to-start online multiplayer.

Tomonobu Itagaki, creator of Devil’s Third, has offered up an additional tidbit of information through his Facebook page. Itagaki said that the game’s online play isn’t compatible between Wii U and PC. If you planning on picking up the game on Wii U and playing with someone who downloaded the title for PC, that unfortunately won’t be possible.

Nintendo has finally put all speculation about the status of Devil’s Third in North America to rest.

The company has announced that the game will be made available “in retail locations” as well as through the eShop in Q4. Nintendo will be publishing the title.

Valhalla Game Studios founder Tomonobu Itagaki said:

“Devil’s Third delivers a unique combination of shooting and melee combat to provide Wii U owners with a fresh action-oriented experience. We’ve been working hard on the game and can’t wait for fans to get their hands on it later this year.”

It’s also now been revealed that a standalone version of Devil’s Third is in the works for PC. While the Wii U game features a single-player story mode and multiplayer, the “free-to-start” version for PC only comes with “a multiplayer experience tailored for the platform.” Valhalla Game Studios will be entirely responsible for the PC release.

A number of new screenshots are now available for Devil’s Third. You’ll find them in the gallery below.

Tomonobu Itagaki made a Facebook post earlier today covering some additional information about the title.

First, the game is set at 30 frames per second. Split-screen has also been ruled out for offline and online play, as the team “used all the power of Wii U for single player.” There is also no voice chat because Valhalla Game Studios “maxed out its bandwidth to achieve online play by 16 users.”

Head past the break to read up on Itagaki’s full comments.

Two more videos have come in for Devil’s Third. Both have been posted below.

New footage of Devil’s Third has come online today. Check out a bunch of videos from the game below.

Famitsu provides an update on Devil’s Third this week. Along with the magazine’s report, there’s also an interview with creator Tomonobu Itagaki.

First, here’s what Itagaki had to say about multiplayer:

“There are things like diplomacy chat that only clan leaders can use, so you can have conferences with other clans. I’m a military enthusiast so there are also many political elements in the game.”

Famitsu then asks about being able to enjoy just the multiplayer:

“Of course. You can [enjoy the multiplayer] even without playing the single-player game. Even so, the single-player is packed with Itagaki-like things, so I’d like you to try it. In order to make both the multiplayer side of the game and the single player side of the game enjoyable, each of them required an amount of quantity, quality and scope. There are these two parts of Devil’s Third. That’s why it took time [to make the game].”
