DMC5 started coming together after the release of Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition. Spearheading the process was Hideaki Itsuno, who has acted as director on the series since its second installment. As this game's director, Mr. Itsuno established a rather concrete vision at the start of development: Three playable characters, Nero as the protagonist, and the game starting from the loss of his right arm. His fondness for this sequel only grew stronger from there, and development continues almost exactly as his vision dictated back then.

Set several years after the last installment, DMC5 offers a gripping tale full of characters with important roles, including Dante and Nero, the returning protagonist from DMC4. We also put an emphasis on stunning visuals, and feel that players new to the series will get the urge to try out DMC5 as soon as they lay eyes on it.

We've packed everything we can into this title in the hopes of surpassing even the expectations of DMC fans that have waited almost ten years for the next numbered entry, crafting an experience they can enjoy for years to come.
