During yesterday's Microsoft E3 2018 Media Briefing, Capcom announced the comeback of its over-the-top action series with a new title: Devil May Cry 5! As a reminder, it's been 10 years since the last iteration, Devil May Cry 4, and director Hideaki Itsuno and the core team have reunited to conclude the long awaited Sons of Sparda saga, using Capcom’s proprietary in-house RE Engine. The game features three playable characters, each of which offer a radically different stylish combat play style as they take on the city overrun with demons. Adrenaline-fuelled boss fights play out against destructible environments in the striking streets of Red Grave City.

The new installment's reveal came with a new trailer:

​

Several years have passed in Devil May Cry 5 and the threat of demonic power, long since forgotten, has returned to menace the world once again. The demonic invasion begins with the seeds of a “demon tree” taking root in Red Grave City. This hellish incursion attracts the attention of the young demon hunter, Nero, an ally of Dante who now finds himself without his demonic arm, the source of much of his power. As Nero heads to Red Grave City in his motorhome named “Devil May Cry” with his partner Nico, he ruminates on how everything started. The loss of his demonic arm, the demonic invasion, and Dante’s unknown whereabouts. Things must be settled once and for all.

Devil May Cry 5 will be releasing on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC in Spring 2019.

Was that supposed to be Dante at the end? XD

Looked like Woody Harrelson, reminds me of how weird it was seeing Luke that much older...

I mean who else could it be? Older versions of past protagonists is hip these days but Old Dante looks like from a "Don't Do Drugs" flyer...

i'd expect demon spawn to age slower...
also, does all of this mean they scratched that un-numbered reboot?

The arm is back baby! Looking forward to more DMC, though someone just told me they're making a Nioh 2? Don't know if I can handle more action games..

That's not Nero, he looks different, has a robot arm...?
But he does rev his sword like Nero, and his arm works similarly to Nero's.
And I heard him say 'Kyrie'...


So maybe it is Nero?
