Capcom has lifted the lid on the fifth game in the Devil May Cry series

Capcom wants Ninja Theory to explore "new frontiers" with the game according to the PR:

"From its debut on PlayStation 2 in 2001, the Devil May Cry series has been synonymous with stylish action, rewarding combat and a brash, smart-talking protagonist. This ‘Devil May Cry DNA’ remains but is now injected with a dark and brutal gameplay that promises to redefine the franchise," reads the Press Release.

"Set against a contemporary backdrop, DmC will depict a duplicitous world where nothing is ever as it seems and the line between good and evil is constantly blurred. Spurred into action by the promises of a trusted relation, Dante bursts into this world intent on revenge at any cost. DmC will retain the series’ signature mix of sword and gunplay but add additional weapons, all new powers and a revitalised gameplay system as players encounter the game’s devilish mix of enemies and navigate the rich, interactive environment."

Capcom producer Keiji Inafune confirmed it's too early to discuss release dates for DmC.

Assuming DmC is a prequel, it's the second in the series following Devil May Cry 3. 2008's Devil May Cry 4 was the last game in the series, and well-received by critics - check out our review.
