It had been in the offing for a long time, but Capcom today finally announced that we would be seeing the return of Dante and Nero for Devil May Cry 5 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC in 2019. It was premiered at Xbox’s E3 briefing to a rapturous ovation from the crowd, and it’s easy to see why.
Helmed by Hideaki Itsuno, Devil May Cry 5 brings the old DMC team back to get the franchise back on track after the massively polarising Ninja Theory effort. Judging from what we’ve seen of the game so far, it will certainly deliver what the fans want.
Here’s everything you need to know about Devil May Cry 5.
Devil May Cry 5 Release Date
Devil May Cry 5 will launch for PC, PS4, and Xbox One in spring 2019. There is no exact date for its release at this time.
Devil May Cry 5 synopsis
“A brand new entry in the legendary over-the-top action series comes to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in Spring 2019, complete with its signature blend of high-octane stylized action and otherworldly and original characters the series is known for. Director Hideaki Itsuno and the core team have reunited to create the most over the top, technically advanced, utterly insane action experience of this generation.
Years have passed since the legions of hell have set foot in this world, but now a new demonic invasion has begun, and humanity’s last hope will rest in the hands of three lone demon hunters, each offering a radically different play style. United by fate and a thirst for vengeance, these demon hunters will have to face their demons in the hope to survive.”
Devil May Cry 5 features
From the press release:
A battle of good and evil – A demonic invasion begins with the seeds of a “demon tree” taking root in Red Grave City. This hellish incursion attracts the attention of the young demon hunter, Nero, an ally of Dante who now finds himself without his demonic arm, the source of much of his power. The supernatural family drama also continues as Dante, the Son of Sparda, seeks revenge for his brother’s corruption and mother’s murder.
High octane stylized action – Featuring three playable characters each with a radically different stylish combat play style as they take on the city overrun with demons. (It looks like both Dante and Nero will be playable with the third character on the cover surely being Vergil.)
Groundbreaking graphics – Developed with Capcom’s in-house proprietary RE engine, the series continues to achieve new heights in fidelity with graphics that utilize photorealistic character designs and stunning lighting and environmental effects.
Take down the demonic invasion – Battle against epic bosses in adrenaline fueled fights across the over-run Red Grave City.
Demon hunter – Nero, one of the series main protagonists and a young demon hunter who has the blood of Sparda, heads to Red Grave City to face the hellish onslaught of demons, with weapons craftswoman and new partner-in-crime, Nico.
