DmC Devil May Cry Definitive Edition XBOX ONE/ XBOX Series X

Detailing Dante’s early years and set against a contemporary backdrop, DmC Devil May Cry will retain the stylish action, fl uid combat and self- assured protagonist that have defi ned the iconic series but inject a more brutal and visceral edge. The Dante of DmC is a young man discovering and coming to terms with what it means to be the child of a demon and an angel. This split personality has a major impact on gameplay with Dante being able to call upon angel and demon abilities at will, transforming his Rebellion sword on the fly to dramatically affect both combat and movement.

Developed by Ninja Theory, DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition includes all of the stylish action gameplay from the original release, all previously released downloadable content (including the Vergil’s Downfall campaign), plus brand new modes and additional content, making this the ultimate offering for Devil May Cry fans. Maximising the potential of next-gen hardware, the game’s high-quality production values will run at a stunning 1080p and smooth 60 fps across PS4 and Xbox One.

New to DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition, players will be able to play as Dante’s twin brother himself in Vergil’s Bloody Palace Mode. For an extra depth of challenge, new modes have been added, including Gods Must Die Mode, Must Style Mode, and Hardcore Mode. In addition to the game’s new features, players will also receive new Dante and Vergil costumes inspired by classic Devil May Cry character designs.

Story overview

DmC sees the origin story of self-assured series protagonist Dante retold against a contemporary backdrop. The Dante of DmC is a young man who has no respect for authority, or indeed society in general. Dante knows that he is not human, but also that he is not like the demons that have tormented him throughout his life. Caught between worlds, he feels like an outcast.

Thanks to his twin brother Vergil, leader of the anti-establishment group The Order, Dante is discovering and coming to terms with what it means to be the child of a demon and an angel. With Dante being able to call upon angel and demon abilities at will, his split personality dramatically affects the gameplay style.
