Devil’s Third announced for PC – Video Games Update
Valhalla Game Studio has announced that it will be collaborating with Doobic Game Studios to bring Devil’s Third to PC, Tablet and iOS along with the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
Devil’s Third is being developed by Valhalla Studios, which mainly consist of ex Team Ninja employees who left the company when the head of Team Ninja Tomonobu Itagaki was fired. The team went on to create their own studio and Devil’s Third will be the first
game.
Itagaki was the man behind Tecmo’s Ninja Gaiden games and the Dead or Alive fighting franchise. Since his departure the Team Ninja studio seems to have taken a hit as Ninja Gaiden 3 was overall disliked and hated by gamers and critics. It was considered
a major step back for the franchise. Team Ninja’s upcoming Dead or Alive 5 also doesn’t seem to be generating enough hype as gamers and fans are not impressed with what has been shown so far.
Gamers are blaming Tecmo for the downfall of the Ninja Gaiden and the Dead or Alive series as they believe that Team Ninja is nothing without Itagaki. They eagerly await Valhalla Studio’s first game hoping that it will recapture the essence of the Ninja
Gaiden games.
Initially Valhalla Studios has signed up with THQ to publish Devil’s Third but since the publisher is currently facing financial problems, it dropped the title a few months ago saying that it didn’t fit the publisher’s profile. The publisher believed it
was somewhat similar to Darksiders 2 and was likely to not be profitable.
In an act of goodwill, THQ decided to hand the rights to the Devil’s Third intellectual property (IP) back to Valhalla Studios earlier this month. Valhalla has revealed that development for the game hasn’t stopped and is going better than ever.
This is due to the deal with Doobic Games, Devil’s Third will reach a much larger audience since Doobic will be porting the game to PC, Tablets and Apple’s iOS will also get a release. It is unclear if it will be the same game or a spin-off. Valhalla Game
Studios has not announced any release date for Devil’s Third so far.
