The city’s gone to hell and back, completely overrun by demons from the underworld. Turns out, it’s not just Red Grave City in trouble. They’re everywhere. In Devil May Cry 5, legendary demon hunter Dante teams up with fellow demon hunter Nero and weapons artist Nico to push his investigation and extermination techniques to the limits. In a new trailer released today, see Dante back in action with his trusty sword Rebellion, guns Ebony and Ivory, and an utterly insane motorbike that splits at the handlebars to create twin blade weapons. Catch all this and much more, including a glimpse of Dante pulling his Devil Trigger, in the trailer featuring Dante’s most over-the-top action gameplay in series history.
And you thought I was just being cheeky with my title, didn't you?
Nero and Dante take on the hellish onslaught to get to the root of the mystery behind the blood-sucking demon tree Qlipoth at the city center. Joining them are beloved series heroines and partners Trish and Lady who make a grand return. The full game will feature three playable characters each with their own radically different gameplay style. Play as Nero, Dante, and the newly introduced V, a mysterious new client for the “Devil May Cry” office that speaks in poetic verse. More will be revealed about V in the coming months.
Devil May Cry 5 is slated to be released on March 8, 2019 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Capcom also passes along word about a special Deluxe Edition of Devil May Cry 5. This version includes "over-the-top Devil Breaker arms for Nero," one of which is the Mega Buster from Mega Man. There is also an option to replace the cutscenes with behind the scenes pre-viz live-action versions. Live-action cutscenes? Why I do believe I've got the vapors.
And now, here is a bunch of new media. There is the TGS 2018 trailer, a trailer for the Mega Buster, new 4K screens, and new character art.
