At the 2005
Tokyo Game Show, Capcom announced there would be a special edition of
Devil May Cry 3.
[53] It included a number of gameplay changes and additional content. Most notably, players could now choose to play as Dante's twin brother, Vergil. Other changes included an added survival mode called "Bloody Palace" with a total of 9999 levels; a new boss fight early in the game, with optional fights later; a "Turbo Mode" for 20 percent faster gameplay; and a continue system which can revive the character instantly, or allow the player to restart the fight they just lost as many times as they like. The game also has rebalanced difficulty.
Vergil has only one style, "Dark Slayer" (similar to Dante's "Trickster" style), which includes evasive maneuvers, and can be
leveled up twice, just like Dante's initial four styles. He has three weapons: his sword called Yamato, the Beowulf
gauntlets and
greaves, and the Force Edge
broadsword. He has two ranged attacks; "Summoned Swords", which creates magical swords that can be used for a variety of effects,
[54] and "Judgment Cut" which creates spheres of damaging force.

The new boss is Jester, a plot-important character who was encountered several times during cutscenes in the first edition of the game but never actually fought. In
Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, he is a semi-optional boss (insofar as the first fight with him is mandatory but the later encounters can be skipped) who can be fought three times.
