Devil's Third has been mostly AWOL for several years, but is almost ready for release.

Gematsu reports the Valhalla Games action title will launch in Japan in August. Assuming the western release isn't too far behind, we should see news at E3 2015 - likely during one of Nintendo's presentations.

Take a look at some single- and multiplayer gameplay footage below.

The Wii U exclusive began life as a multi-platform title to be published by THQ, which the publisher shucked in its death throes before Nintendo picked it up.
