THQ no longer publishing Devil’s Third

MCV Staff 16th May 2012 Business News

THQ is actively seeking out interested parties to take on publishing duties for Ninja Gaiden creator Tomonobu Itagaki’s next title Devil’s Third.

The publisher revealed that the ‘profitability profile’ of the game no longer meets their ‘internal threshold’ during its financial call to investors earlier today.

The title’s future is currently up in the air at this juncture, with a third-party deal seemingly needing to get done for the game to reach shelves.

Devil’s Third was previously slated for launch in 2013 on PS3 and Xbox 360, with a potential Wii U release being considered as well.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
