The game was officially announced by Capcom at their press conference during the 2010 [[Tokyo Game Show]] in September, confirming an earlier rumor in the May 2010 issue of ''[[Game Informer]]'' which said that the fifth ''Devil May Cry'' game would be developed by [[Ninja Theory]]. Its creative director Tameem Antoniades stated that ''DmC''{{'}}s combat system would contain mechanics that would set him apart from previous [[Platinum Games]]' titles with Platinum's [[Hideki Kamiya]] being the creator of ''[[Devil May Cry]]''. Jones stated they still wanted to compete with Platinum in terms of gameplay and storytelling. The idea of a town being alive wishing to kill the player was added a new element never seen before in the ''Devil May Cry'' series. As a result of being a reboot, the game will "stray too far from the series' roots" while combat system will be "up to scratch."<ref>{{cite web|author=Yin-Poole, Wesley|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-01-05-capcom-ninja-theory-on-dmc-versus-bayonetta|title=Capcom, Ninja Theory on DmC versus Bayonetta |publisher=Eurogamer|date=January 5, 2012|author=Minkley, Johnny |accessdate=April 11, 2012}}</ref>

DmC: Devil May Cry is an upcoming action game developed by Ninja Theory and published by Capcom for the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.[2] It will be the first title in the series not to be developed by Capcom.[3] Another change is that the game will be the result of a collaboration of two developers with the core development being handled by the English studio Ninja Theory.

Gameplay

DmC: Devil May Cry is an action game where the player character Dante uses melee attacks to defeat enemies. Although Dante is primarily in human form, the player has access to his angel and demon powers that add a large variety of attacks. This is represented by the fact that Dante's black hair changes to white during a sequence of combos.[4]

Plot

The game is set in a parallel, non-canon universe in the Devil May Cry series.[5] The story tells of Dante and his journey through the fictitious Limbo City, a place that appears calm at first, but transforms into a twisted parody of itself with Demons who frequently attempt to kill him whenever he is caught in the sight of one of the city's demonic security cameras (which transform into one eyed demons while in Limbo. He is also fighting against the ever-changing, hazardous environment of the city as well.)

Development

The game was officially announced by Capcom at their press conference during the 2010 Tokyo Game Show in September, confirming an earlier rumor in the May 2010 issue of Game Informer which said that the fifth Devil May Cry game would be developed by Ninja Theory. Its creative director Tameem Antoniades stated that DmC's combat system would contain mechanics that would set him apart from previous Platinum Games' titles with Platinum's Hideki Kamiya being the creator of Devil May Cry. Jones stated they still wanted to compete with Platinum in terms of gameplay and storytelling. The idea of a town being alive wishing to kill the player was added a new element never seen before in the Devil May Cry series. As a result of being a reboot, the game will "stray too far from the series' roots" while combat system will be "up to scratch."[6]

Reception to the new design of Dante and direction of the series was mostly negative.[7][8][9] In an interview, Capcom revealed that they knew Dante's new look would be met with negative backlash and that they pressed forward with this in mind. In an interview published on the videogame blog Kotaku, lead producer Alex Jones explained that he has received numerous death threats due to the controversial decision to reboot the series.[10] Ninja Theory co-founder Tameem Antoniades responded to criticism stating they wouldn't change it as it is supposed to fit within the game's setting.[4]

During E3 2011, Ninja Theory presented an in-game trailer, pointing out it is "work in progress gameplay".

In November 2011, an extended trailer and new concept art was released.[11][12]
