Only a few hours remain before the next console generation begins with the launch of the Xbox Series X, which means only a few hours before Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition brings a load of next-gen upgrades and new content to the hit 2019 action game. To mark the occasion, Capcom has released the launch trailer for the new version, which focuses on its main attraction, the ability to play as Dante’s katana-wielding twin brother, Vergil.
At over four and a half minutes long, the trailer has plenty to show. Most of it covers ground that will be familiar to fans, reusing scenes from the campaign, but it does offer a few glimpses of new cutscenes showing where Vergil is at the start of DMC 5‘s story and what’s motivating him. It should be noted, though, that the trailer touches upon some MAJOR SPOILERS, so anyone planning on going into DMC 5 blind with the Special Edition might want to skip it.
Outside of the story, the trailer also features new footage of Vergil’s gameplay, which will be familiar to anyone who played him in the Special Editions of previous DMC games, especially Devil May Cry 4. Vergil will sport his usual three weapons, the Yamato, Beowulf, and Force Edge (now known as Mirage Edge), along with the “concentration” gauge from DMC 4. This boosts the effectiveness of his weapons in different ways the more it’s filled, and can be filled by either standing still or slowly walking towards enemies. At the same time, running, getting hit, and missing attacks will drain the gauge, encouraging players to adopt a more precise playstyle in keeping with Vergil’s character.
The biggest change to how Vergil plays in Devil May Cry 5 is that his Devil Trigger no longer activates his powered-up demon form, instead summoning a doppelganger that mimics his actions. Fans need not worry, however, as Vergil can still access his demon form via his Sin Devil Trigger. These and more can be seen in greater detail in the two-hour gameplay showcase that Capcom streamed this weekend.
While DMC 5 is launching digitally for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X this week, Capcom will have a little more to offer soon after. A physical version of Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition will be released on December 1, and Capcom has confirmed that Vergil will be added to the PC and current-gen versions of the game as DLC on December 15.
Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition will launch on November 10 for Xbox Series X and November 12 for PS5.
