Tomonobu Itagaki wonāt be taking Devilās Third to E3 this year.
Devilās Third, the third person shooter in development over at Tomonobu Itagakiās Valhalla Game Studios, is still in production, according to former Ninja Gaiden developer Itagaki. He still doesnāt 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. āItās like weāre continuing to go along under the surface,ā says he, āwaiting for the right timing to launch our missiles.ā
Those missiles wonāt be launched at E3, Itagaki confirms. The timing just isnāt right. But this game is important to Itagaki; ā[itās] part of the reason I went independent, after all,ā he told Famitsu. No news on gameplay yet, except that heās building it up āItagaki-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 Devilās Third just didnāt seem profitable enough for THQ to back it, and since then THQ itself has dissolved.
Best of luck to Valhalla Game Studios; hopefully its Devilās Third wonāt have to wait till Ragnarok for a release.
