Developer Confirms Devilā€™s Third Still In Production

Tomonobu Itagaki wonā€™t be taking Devilā€™s Third to E3 this year.

Devilā€™s Third, the third person shooter in development over at Tomonobu Itagakiā€™s Valhalla Game Studios, is still in production, according to former Ninja Gaiden developer Itagaki. He still doesnā€™t have a confirmed publisher yet but, said Itagaki to Famitsu, the dearth of news about the title since its announcement way back when is all part of his strategy. ā€œItā€™s like weā€™re continuing to go along under the surface,ā€ says he, ā€œwaiting for the right timing to launch our missiles.ā€

Those missiles wonā€™t be launched at E3, Itagaki confirms. The timing just isnā€™t right. But this game is important to Itagaki; ā€œ[itā€™s] part of the reason I went independent, after all,ā€ he told Famitsu. No news on gameplay yet, except that heā€™s building it up ā€œItagaki-styleā€ and really hopes it will surprise people. This is the title that got caught up in the the THQ debacle, which saw it lose a publisher. At the time, THQ claimed that Devilā€™s Third just didnā€™t seem profitable enough for THQ to back it, and since then THQ itself has dissolved.

Best of luck to Valhalla Game Studios; hopefully its Devilā€™s Third wonā€™t have to wait till Ragnarok for a release.
