The legendary silver-haired demon hunter is back! Devil May Cry 5 was developed by Capcom for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It is the fifth instalment of the hack’n’slash action saga, sequel to the fourth instalment starring Nero and Dante.
The Devil May Cry series has always been about the legacy of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, and DMC 5 takes it up a couple notches. Dante is back, of course, cooler and more dangerous than ever. He has never been more motivated to join the fight. Nero, now without his demonic arm, finds some closure, and several awesome cyberdemonic prosthetic arms to beat demons’ into submission. And then there’s V, a mysterious stranger who delegates summoned demonic manifestations to do most of the fighting for him.
We cannot forget about the supporting cast: both Lady and Trish return from earlier games in the franchise to help Dante dispose of demons. There’s also Nico, Nero ’s mechanic and a brilliant engineer, supplying Nero with new arms she develops. A granddaughter of the gunsmith who made Dante’s Ebony and Ivory, and daughter of a certain antagonistic scientist from a past game, she has a strong connection to both protagonists.
