A few weeks following the launch of Devil May Cry 5, Capcom is pleased to report at this year’s Game Developer’s Conference or GDC that the game has sold two million copies worldwide.
Devil May Cry 5 is the latest in the Devil May Cry series that follows the story of Dante, Nero and a new character named V as they battle it out with the Demon King Urizen. For fans who have been clamoring for a Devil May Cry game that lives up to the series, this is the one that everyone has been asking for.
For those who have already purchased the game and have finished it, there’s new content coming on April 1st, which is the much awaited Bloody Palace mode that allows players to test their skills in waves of enemies that they have to beat.
Here’s an overview of the game, via Capcom:
The Devil you know returns in this brand new entry in the over-the-top action series available on the PC. Prepare to get downright demonic with this signature blend of high-octane stylized action and otherworldly & original characters the series is known for. Director Hideaki Itsuno and the core team have returned to create the most insane, technically advanced and utterly unmissable action experience of this generation!
The threat of demonic power has returned to menace the world once again in Devil May Cry 5. The invasion begins when the seeds of a “demon tree” take root in Red Grave City. As this hellish incursion starts to take over the city, a young demon hunter Nero, arrives with his partner Nico in their “Devil May Cry” motorhome. Finding himself without the use of his right arm, Nero enlists Nico, a self-professed weapons artist, to design a variety of unique mechanical Devil Breaker arms to give him extra powers to take on evil demons such as the blood sucking flying Empusa and giant colossus enemy Goliath.
FEATURES
– High octane stylized action – Featuring three playable characters each with a radically different stylish combat play style as they take on the city overrun with demons
– Groundbreaking graphics – Developed with Capcom’s in-house proprietary RE engine, the series continues to achieve new heights in fidelity with graphics that utilize photorealistic character designs and stunning lighting and environmental effects.
– Take down the demonic invasion – Battle against epic bosses in adrenaline fueled fights across the over-run Red Grave City all to the beat of a truly killer soundtrack.
– Demon hunter – Nero, one of the series main protagonists and a young demon hunter who has the blood of Sparda, heads to Red Grave City to face the hellish onslaught of demons, with weapons craftswoman and new partner-in-crime, Nico.
