And with fans still hoping for a brand new installment, this release will no doubt be the next best thing.ĭevil May Cry 4: Special Edition (PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One)

With the same team behind Devil May Cry 4 returning, including director Hideaki Itsuno, they plan to reinvigorate DMC4 with some serious style and a sizable upgrade. With the release of Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition set for this summer, Capcom invited me out to a special hands-on session, and I got to experience just what the new roster brings to the table. Capcom seeks to do just that with the Special Edition for DMC4, which features the largest roster of characters ever in a DMC title. Despite this, many of the hardcore DMC fans still view it favorably and yearned for a continuation of this style of combat. Unfortunately, there was a sense that it felt a bit unfinished given the severe amount of recycled content and backtracking throughout. Initially, fans of the series weren’t too fond of the new central character Nero, along with the move to multiplatform, but in the end they were largely pleased with how the final game turned out. Now just a month after the release of the excellent DmC: Definitive Edition, Capcom is readying its next hit with a revisit to the flawed but super fun Devil May Cry 4.Īs the first DMC title on seventh-generation consoles (PS3 and Xbox 360), 2008’s Devil May Cry 4 had a lot of expectations to live up to following its amazing predecessor ( DMC3: Special Edition). Thankfully before the end of 2014, Capcom announced plans for a one-two punch of releases for its much-loved and hotly debated action franchise, with each one representing different ends of the DMC spectrum. After the release of Ninja Theory’s reboot and many debates among fans about what direction it should go next, the future of the franchise felt uncertain. The Devil May Cry franchise has experienced some strange happenings in recent years.
