Valhalla Games, the new outfit from former Team Ninja head Tomonobu Itagaki (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/tomonobu-itagaki), will launchDevil's Third (http://www.joystiq.com/game/devils-third) some time next year. It's around 80% complete right now, Itagaki said (http://www.4gamer.net/games/000/G000000/20131213085/index_2.html). "We'll be going all out next year, so please look forward to it."

There hasn't been much word on Devil's Third since its old publisher THQ went out of business (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/thq-bankruptcy/) last year and rights to the game were soon relinquished back to Valhalla Games (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/05/devils-third-rights-relinquished-to-itagakis-valhalla-games/). In May, Itagaki assured that work on the game would continue (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/05/devils-third-rights-relinquished-to-itagakis-valhalla-games/) even though a new publisher had not been lined up yet.

Devil's Third is a third-person shooter with melee combat elements set during a modern-day world war. It's Itagaki's first game since his controversial exit (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/26/itagaki-suit-against-tecmo-ends-in-settlement/) from Tecmo in 2008.
