You’ve already seen the new screens for the just-announced DMC, a prequel to the Devil May Cry series. After seeing the images released there are a lot of people questioning the identity of the protagonist shown. It IS Dante, his altered appearance is due to this game being set way before the events we’ve already experienced in the present canon.
Now, you can check out the official trailer below, and by way of destructoid, here’s a brief overview of the plot:
The new game will “depict a duplicitous world where nothing is ever as it seems and the line between good and evil is constantly blurred. Spurred into action by the promises of a trusted relation, Dante bursts into this world intent on revenge at any cost. DmC will retain the series’ signature mix of sword and gunplay but add additional weapons, all new powers and a revitalised gameplay system as players encounter the game’s devilish mix of enemies and navigate the rich, interactive environment.”
