More news on Tomonobu Itagaki's delayed third-person shooter Devil's Third will arrive soon, according to former THQ core games head Danny Bilson.
Bilson told VG24/7 that he's "very close to Itagaki" and Valhalla Games Studio, which Itagaki formed after leaving Team Ninja in 2008.
"I can't say very much because I believe there's an upcoming announcement beyond what he said in January that's pretty specific and very, very exciting," Bilson said. "Even though I'm not working for any of these guys I have to respect all the confidentialities. There's an update coming for sure."
Itagaki said in January that Devil's Third is due for release in 2014.
Initially planned for an early 2013 release, the PS3, PC and Xbox 360 action game hit a development roadblock when unexpected costs related to development of its engine prompted now-closed publisher THQ to drop the title.
Ahead of THQ's eventual bankruptcy all of Devil's Third's rights, including development and distribution, were transferred from the publisher to the Japanese studio.
