THQ No Longer Publishing Devil’s Third




THQ will not be publishing Devil’s Third. While the company made it clear that it no longer wanted to publish the game back in May, the final decision has now been made, and rights to the game have been returned to creator Tomonobu Itagaki.


“THQ confirms that the company will not be publishing Devil’s Third,” a spokesperson said in a statement provided to IGN. “All of the game’s IP rights have been returned to Itagaki-san and the Valhalla team.”







Devil’s Third was originally announced in the days leading up to E3 2010 and later slated for release in 2012. According to a THQ earnings call earlier this year, the game was forced to switch engines partway through development, as the studio behind the original engine went out of business. We last heard that Devil’s Third was running on an adapted version of the engine used by Space Marine developer Relic.


For now, now publisher has been confirmed for the game moving forward, but keep checking back to IGN for updates as they’re announced.
