Devil May Cry 5 (Japanese: デビル メイ クライ 5, Hepburn: Debiru Mei Kurai Go) is an upcoming action-adventure hack and slash video game developed and published by Capcom. It is a continuation of the mainline series which began with Devil May Cry in 2001, to its most recent entry Devil May Cry 4, which was released in 2008.[4]

Gameplay

Nero battling demons using his Red Queen sword

The gameplay will feature the return of Dante and Nero as playable characters, along with a currently unknown third character.[5] The gameplay is similar to the other titles in the Devil May Cry series, focusing on fast-paced "stylish action". The player fights off hoards of demons with a variety of attacks and weapons and receives a style-rating in combat based on a number of factors, such as move variety, the length of a combo and dodging attacks. Nero is equipped with his Red Queen sword, his Blue Rose double-barreled revolver, and a new robotic arm with a variety of functions such as grabbing enemies from a distance or stopping time to freeze an enemy in place.[6] Along with the Rebellion Dante now fights using a new Devil Arm, a pair of chainsaw-like weapons that can combine into a motorcycle.[7] The music in the game will change based on the player's performance in combat.[8]

Plot

The story takes place several years after the fourth title and some time after the second title.[9]

Nero has set up his own demon hunting agency based out of a van adorned with a neon "Devil May Cry" sign given to him by Dante. Nero also has a new robotic hand called "Devil Breaker", which was created by the new agency's engineer Nico as a replacement for Nero's Devil Bringer arm after it had been severed off by a mysterious figure.[10][11]

Development

The game is directed by Devil May Cry series veteran Hideaki Itsuno.[12] It runs on the RE Engine, developed for Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.[13] Itsuno explained that the development team is aiming for a "photo-realistic" graphics style. The game is confirmed to be targeting 60 fps on all targeted release platforms. [14][11] The developers scanned various models to give a realistic look to the characters and even real clothes which were created in London and scanned in Serbia.[15] Capcom confirmed that the release date will be 8 March 2019.[16] A demo version was playable in August 2018 at Gamescom.[17]

In 2013 Itsuno showed interest in continuing the original Devil May Cry series by developing a fifth installment.[18] It was originally thought that the series could go on hiatus or end for good if Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition was not a commercial success.[19] However, in an interview with GameSpot, Itsuno confirmed that the series future did not depend on Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition's sales. He also alleviated fears that DmC: Devil May Cry's sales ended the series, confirming that Capcom was ultimately satisfied with final sales figures of those games.[20] In mid-January 2016, Itsuno stated on Twitter that he is working on a project well in development which could not be announced just yet[21] and later in March, Reuben Langdon and Johnny Yong Bosch, who had done voice acting and motion capture for Dante and Nero respectively in Devil May Cry 4, took pictures of themselves in motion capture gear, leading to speculation that a new Devil May Cry game is in development.[22] In response on Twitter regarding any truth about the speculation, Capcom Vancouver stated that "It's not a game that [they] announced that [they are] working on at [their] studio".[23] On 17 May 2018, the domain name "DevilMayCry5.com" was registered by an unknown entity under Capcom's Onamae domain register.[24] Devil May Cry 5 was confirmed at E3 2018 for a release the following year.[25]

The game was originally planned to be announced in 2017. However, ideas to announce it alongside the Resident Evil 2 remake led to its change. The game is being developed by Capcom Dev Studio 1 and consists of many staff members who worked on entries in the Dragon's Dogma and the Devil May Cry series. The team is aiming to make it the best action game from the Heisei period. A secret message was left in the first trailer for fans of the series.[26] Dante and Nero's respective actors, Reuben Langdon and Johnny Yong Bosch, have expressed pleasure in regards to the game.[27][28]

On 11 June 2018, a soundtrack single was released for Devil May Cry 5, which is named "Devil Trigger". The single is produced by video game composer Casey Edwards and features Ali Edwards.[3]
