Capcom's first-ever Gamescom press conference got off to a good start as Devil May Cry's producer Alex Jones confirmed that Ninja Theory's DmC reboot will prominently feature at least one character from Devil May Cry games past: Vergil, Dante's twin brother.

He looks like a slightly older, blonder (or grey-haired?) Dante, and in this game he's the head of the Order, a sci-fi demon-fighting organisation. They've been estranged since they were children, but Vergil recruits Dante to the cause during the game.Capcom also showed off a brand new gravity-bending section of gameplay, showing Dante confronting a demon who secretly controls the world news agenda as the world bends and shifts around him. (In DmC, the demons are a pernicious controlling influence a lot of our world media - here, Dante was running through a pastiche of a certain notorious North American television news outlet.)He was introduced in a new trailer, which we'll have right here for you shortly. We'll also have impressions of DmC from the show floor in the next day or two.A PC version of DmC is still in development, and will be released after the console versions.
