When the first details of DmC: Devil May Cry emerged, controversy ensued. Ninja Theory, the newly appointed developer to the long-running Capcom series was dealt angry backlash from dedicated fans who felt their beloved Dante had been bastardized. Casting aside the smooth, ivory-haired poster boy of demon-hunting in favour of a reckless “emo” sporting Goth hair who beared no resemblance to the protagonist of the same name was always going to be a hard sell, but Ninja Theory continue on, steady and true to their original design.

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!
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.
Controversy has ended, people have just realised nothing will change and we have to accept things as they are.
I will buy DMC, but long after it has been released and probably second hand.
As a gamer, the game does peak my interest as it is a good looking game, but as a Hideo Kamiya fan and Devil May Cry fan, I cannot support the dev or publisher since they haven't supported me. To get respect, you have to give respect, something Capcom and NT have failed to do IMO.
The game looks great. Day 1 buy. Looks a lot better than Rising at least.
lol Ninja Theory
I like what i have seen of this DMC, Dante just have black hair and people rage about that? hahaha.
I loved HS and Dishonored looks amazing and some sites think that too so i think this game will be awesome HOWEVER if there is the slightest sign of On disk DLC i will not get the game.
