EDGE- The news that Ninja Theory was handling the development of DMC: Devil May Cry was met with fan responses ranging from consternation to outrage. Hideki Kamiya’s finger-twisting series defined the modern Japanese action game, even if Bayonetta did steal its crown. The idea that a British studio can maintain, let alone better, its quality has been called into question, especially by those who claim Ninja Theory’s games prize presentation over combo-juggling substance.
So it’s a relief to find the DMC DNA intact. Anti-hero Dante may have a fresher, more scowling face than in his previous outings, but he is all weighty maturity in the hands. We’d advise cautious optimism, then, for a series that has been uneven since its creator left Capcom. Ninja Theory appears to have brought technical class and a focused artistic direction to a world that has often lacked coherence and consistency. But the question about whether it upholds its mechanical sophistication in the long term remains.
Devil May Cry 5 surpasses 10 million sales as Netflix animated series drives major surge in franchise popularity.
It's been six years since Capcom dropped Devil May Cry 5, but it's still more than worth replaying in 2025 thanks to its rich gameplay.
Because the anime is on Netflix and we gotta ride that DMC in the news again wave.
It’s been sitting in my backlog for a while now. One of the first games I wanted to try for this current gen due to the long load times of previous gen. I’ll get around to it soon!
One of the best, stylish, and fun action slasher on the system. You definitely should get to it, as soon as you can.
The DMC5 team went on to make Dragons Dogma 2, the DMC director (3,4,5) left capcom to make an action game at another studio and the rumor is that a DMC remake is next...so i wouldn't hold my breath on DMC6.
Everytime its on sale I think about buying it but never do. I only played the orginal and somr of 3 so I guess that's part of it.
Steam's Summer Sale looks primed for Steam Deck players - with a huge collection of titles on offer for the handheld.
i don't care if they reboot it
but they should have rebooted it with dante not some punk emo looking guy
a good example is tomb raider
they rebooted it but they kept lara croft with a slightly different look
This DMC is looking more & more interesting,I can't wait to play because the last DMC was boring & I'm glad they decided to put a fresh coat of paint on the series. Playing DMC HD now.
