Devil's Third is a Wii U exclusive third-person hack and slash game. Originally announced by THQ for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the rights to the game were returned to Valhalla Games after THQ was closed down in 2013, and Nintendo obtained publishing rights. Regardless, the multiplayer mode has been announced to be released as a standalone title for PC (titled Devil's Third Online).

Devil in the Details
From famed Ninja Gaiden designer Tomonobu Itagaki comes an east-meets-west blend of ninja-style melee combat and modern gunplay oozing with savage action. Wage fierce fortress combat in a unique, clan-based online* multiplayer mode. Or go it alone as Ivan, a brutal ex-mercenary, and survive his all-out war of vengeance…for a guitar.
The online* Siege Mode lets you create and manage your own clan to compete for power and influence. Customize fortresses to give your clan the advantage when defending against invaders. Or attack other clan fortresses to conquer their territory and earn clan rewards, like new weapons, customizations, or fortress-building options. There’s also Drill Mode, a combination of traditional and off-the-wall online multiplayer options ranging from free-for-all to team matchups, chicken collecting, and even fruit tossing. You can even earn customizable gear and equipment to create your own look and load out.

Story
Satellite debris surrounding the earth has been colliding active satellites, leading to a large number of satellites being destroyed from a chain reaction of collisions, and war has erupted across the globe in the chaos.
Gameplay
Devil's Third is mostly a third-person action game in which players control a character named Ivan, who can attack using melee-based weapons, or a gun for ranged attacks. When aiming the gun, the camera switches to first person for aiming, while melee attacks can be chained and end with a cinematic finishing move. Players can swap weapons, throw them, or have their weapon stolen in the middle of a combo.
The game also features online multiplayer, with several modes. However, Nintendo have announced that all online functions will be shut down on December 29, 2016, while purchases of Golden Eggs will no longer be possible after June 27.[2]
