Valhalla Game Studios (株式会社ヴァルハラゲームスタジオ) is a Japanese video game company founded in 2009.

Staff

The studio is run by former Tecmo staff: Satoshi Kanematsu, who worked on Monster Hunter and Rygar, and Tomonobu Itagaki, a game designer known for his work on the Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden series.

Projects

Since 2010, the company has been working on Devil's Third, a "hyper-violent shooter".[1] Originally developed as a title for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, the game is being developed exclusively for the Wii U. Following the closure of development partner THQ, intellectual property rights to Devil's Third were given back to Valhalla Game Studios.[2] The game was re-announced by Nintendo at E3 2014.
