Adam Jones' of Capcom has confirmed that DMC will not have Vergil as a playable character.

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.
Damn it yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Vergil won't be playable because Ninja theory is overrated.
They have been tasked to release a game called DmC where they remake the same gameplay as seen in DMC 3/4, but with their art style, a "new" story and so on.
But since remaking gameplay for 1 character is tough enough for them, making the gameplay for Vergil will be to much for them because they won't be able to make it for the release date.
However, i believe few months after DmC i believe Capcom will release a "DLC" - Vergil will be playable...and that Ninja theory will then work on Vergil (if Capcom decides to make such DLC).
