"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."

Well....that's certainly an interesting turn of events.

Free pc game yummy

Well that's good, now the reason I won't buy it will not be because Nintendo said I can't, but because I myself don't want to.

Nintendo should allow the multiplayer to be released on eshop. Easily the most likely part of the game to be good but numbers will be hampered by single player feedback

Well Nintendo. It's, uh, something. At least the community can make a fully functional version of the game on their own.

So wait, Valhalla Game Studios will be shitting a Pay2Win model of Devil's Third on PC ?!

PC version eh? The modding scene should be interesting.

legit.

It means that you can start playing the game for free, maybe with just 1 mode, a restricted selection of weapons and maps, and you can pay to play the rest. The Wii U version will most likely cost 60 U$, but comes with the full single player and full multiplayer game unlocked, no extra payments.

What the fuck is even happening with this game anymore
