Devil's Third Coming In August 29th - Updated With Details

Tomonobu Itagaki has been quiet for sometime, since he appeared at E3 2014 to talk about Devil's Third, well he broke his silence today in Japan when he announced that Devil's Third will release on Wii U in the next few months. Nintendo UK have announced the game will see release in that region, and likely ours on August 28th.  Nintendo Australia have confirmed the game will release here on August 29th

The video below has him talking about the game, but it is all in Japanese, but it does give you a look at the game in motion, so its still worth a watch.



The game was in development at THQ before they folded and after looking around for a publisher, Nintendo picked it up. The game features a full single player campaign, but also a full online multiplayer mode.

Now thanks to Nintendo Australia, we have some more details, first up, the single player

At the heart of the single-player campaign is Ivan, a former mercenary let loose from his incarceration to right the wrongs of his past and take down a shadowy terrorist group he once belonged to. With the world’s satellites and electrical weaponry having been wiped out, and warfare once again reduced to close combat between soldiers, Ivan must use a colourful array of weaponry to shoot, hack and bludgeon his way through any foe standing in the way of his attempt at redemption. With fast-paced combat and bone-crunching finishing moves galore, a day in the life of Ivan is anything but ordinary… 

And as for the multiplayer

The game’s online multiplayer mode, meanwhile, offers up a grim future whereby the terrorists have won, and chaos reigns supreme. As an ordinary citizen, you can join a clan and help reclaim the United States by forming allegiances with other factions, or go all-out as a mercenary and endlessly assault other player’s bases, opting for anarchy over clan diplomacy! But at the heart of the online play is the ability to customise your base alongside other members of your clan, with successful battling resulting in rewards that can be used to improve your defences. With constant assaults from other clans, you’ll have to be on your toes to defend your territory.

 And because I like it, the Japanese box art, I hope we get something similar.
