The Story So Far
Devil May Cry 5 is the first entry in the game’s main series since 2008! Capcom has put years of time and effort into the most ambitious DMC game ever, and likely the last.
First, check out the video above to catch up on the story. It covers everything from the lore behind the original game to the pivotal events leading up to DMC 5. Next, we’ll introduce you to the game’s characters (and their weaponry) one-by-one.
Playable Characters
Dante
The Strongest Demon Slayer
The original hunter is back with his original weaponry in Devil May Cry 5.
Dante comes equipped with: “Rebellion” a massive sword that he wields with ease, a modified shotgun named “Coyote-A”, and his rapid-fire pistols “Ebony” and “Ivory”. But that’s not all he’s packing…
In addition to the classics, Dante can utilize “Balrog” (a possessed Devil Arm), the legendary Devil Sword “Sparda” and even a motorcycle named Cavaliere – yes, you can obliterate monsters with a demonically charged motorbike in DMC 5.
Build up your Devil Trigger gauge to transform in demon form and unleash crazy combos with your various weapons.
Nero
The Young Devil Hunter
This Devil Hunter for hire once had the power of a powerful demonic arm at his disposal. But, after it was viciously ripped off in the events leading up to DMC 5, Nero now wields a weaponised prosthetic in its place.
This “Devil Breaker”, as it’s called, is capable of pulling off a whole host of crazy demon slaying combos. Combined with “Blue Rose” (a piercing 6-shot revolver) and “Red Queen” (a demon cleaver that revs up like a motorcycle), and Nero is a force to be reckoned with.
V
The Mysterious One
V, the newest character to join the fight, relies on powerful summoned beasts to do his demon-slaying job. He can summon Griffon (a vicious crow-like beast) for ranged attacks, and Shadow (a panther-like creature) for close combat.
When his power is fully charged, V can unleash a devastating “gargantuan demon” on his foes. This beast is nearly invulnerable and can obliterate enemies with a powerful laser beam or even its own two gargantuan hands. Nothing stands in the way of V.
