Unlike the old Dante, who was part demon and part human, DmC Devil May Cry’s Dante is half-angel and half-demon. This is reflected in the game’s combat, too, where you can switch between demon and angel forms, each with their own moves. So, why did Ninja Theory include the half-angel part?

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.
Because they're stupid, that's why!
You know they could have done something like this for the old Dante, but no they had to screw it all up. Thanks cr@pcom.
Because before there was only the Human and Demon worlds because the game's original creator came from a background not heavily influenced by Western religion, but the new one is. So now there has to be a Heaven and Hell.
Begs the question why Hell has more influence, is in control of the Human world, but what the hey.
Wouldn't he still be special if he was half Human and half Demon since his Father was Sparda one of the most powerful demons who took it upon himself to take on the demons? Also it would make Dante's feats even more special since it would mean that he has trained himself very hard to kill these powerful demons while also getting a power boost because of his Powerful father. To me him being half Demon half Angel just seems overkill in this world unless Angels are super weak.
*ugh* that's kinda of stretch dontcha think NT....
trying to give Dante depth by making him part angel so you can justify letting him sometimes sympathetic or a reason to fall in love with someone...
i don't want that i want a 50% demon and 50% as$hole....
