Wii U’s ‘larger-than-life military thriller’ Devil’s Third is coming to the UK on August 28, Nintendo has announced, weeks after its Japanese debut on August 4.

Created by Ninja Gaiden designer Tomonobu Itagaki, Devil’s Third puts players in control of a former mercenary “let loose from his incarceration to right the wrongs of his past and take down a shadowy terrorist group he once belonged to”.

The third-person game offers both single-player and multiplayer modes, with the latter tasking players with forming online alliances to reclaim the US, or going it alone to attack other players’ bases.

It’s been a long time coming, too. Devil’s Third initially started out as a last-gen game under THQ, before being acquired by Nintendo as a Wii U exclusive. But will it be worth the wait? Find out in just over two months’ time.
