GameDynamo says, "DMC, the new name for Devil May Cry, is going to be different than previous versions in the series. The clock has been turned back and gamers will play as a young version of our hero Dante. Dante will be more rebellious and have an attitude befitting his age. His wardrobe will be more on the edge of fashion than previously. Capcom is calling it a reboot of the game."

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.
Can't wait. Hopefully this game will be as awesome as Heavenly Sword and Enslaved.
"Dante will be more rebellious and have an attitude befitting his age."- in other words, EMO!
"His wardrobe will be more on the edge of fashion than previously."- crossdresser? wait, maybe he has unlockable costumes that have him cosplaying as justin beiber or chris crocker?
"This change is designed to make the game appeal to old fans and bring in new ones for the series. "- more like alienate the old fans while catering to the wrist cutting teenage group(just refering to emo's, not all teenagers mind you)
"Action and combat style are to be the same as previous versions, but the game itself will be darker with brutal gameplay and a psychological edge. " - that remains to be seen since it's rumored that it will run on the UE3 engine.
bottom line is, all joking aside, NT has to do a lot of hard work in showing the original fans that this is DmC and not some wannabe who tries to look cool but falls flat. I hope NT make me eat my words, I truly do. until then, my judgement stands.
