For those who watched The Game Awards last night, you’ll know that a lot of big games were announced, teased, and shown. Devil May Cry 5 was one such game, and they even had a live performance of the song “Devil Trigger”, named after the main character Dante’s special abilities. But, you also saw Phil Spencer get on stage and note that a special demo for the game was about to come out. And in fact, the demo is out right now, and only on Xbox One and Xbox One X for a while.
Here’s a synopsis of the demo:
This smokin’, sexy, stylish demo sees players assume the role of young demon hunter Nero on the streets of Red Grave City as he takes on several demons including the Mighty Goliath in the eternal battle between the forces of good and evil. Players can execute devastating attacks on enemies using Nero’s special Devil Breaker arms designed by his partner in crime and self-professed “weapons artist” Nico. Combined with melee attacks using his ‘Red Queen’ sword and the long range firepower of his ‘Blue Rose’ handgun, the power of Nero’s Devil Breaker arms make the dramatic, adrenaline-fuelled action even more thrilling. This exclusive Xbox One demo gives players their first taste of what to expect when the iconic action series Devil May Cry returns with the launch of the full game on March 8th, 2019.
But that’s not all, what wasn’t revealed at The Game Awards is that Capcom is bringing back something that fans are sure to love.
Capcom is also pleased to confirm the return of fan-favorite Bloody Palace Mode. Coming to the game as a free update shortly after launch in April 2019, this extra quick-elimination mode pits players against hordes of fast-approaching enemies and bosses until they reach the end. Details on the Cameo System in Devil May Cry 5 were also revealed, where players’ worlds collide with other demon hunters. While online, other players can be seen making special guest appearances in the game as they battle other demons around Red Grave City – even joining in the battle in some cases. Players can rate each other’s cameos in-game by rating their gameplay “Stylish!” if they’re impressed by their SSStylish skills.
So, you ready to save the world? We’ll find out on March 8th!
