My Dante. My dear, sweet Dante. He returns to me yet again, leaving me last with a desire for more. A heartbreaker he is, for our time together was too brief. But I digress, for my love clouds by judgement and his majesty blinds me.

Capcom has just announced that Ninja Theory’s divisive DmC: Devil May Cry is coming to current-gen platforms. The DmC: Definitive Edition will be hitting the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on March 17, 2015. The game will be receiving quite the few improvements, some actually fan-made and influenced.
As expected, DmC: Definitive Edition will finally bring the 60fps version of the game to consoles, at full 1080p resolution with all existing DLC included. Improved textures should also be expected, but the real treat come in the form of a lot of new game modes and features. Turbo Mode makes a series return, making the game 20% faster; Hardcord Mode toggles the game’s balancing to be akin to classic Devil May Cry; Must Style Mode makes enemies susceptible to damage only when an S-rank is in progress; and lastly, Gods Must Die mode is the game’s new hardest difficulty, where no health items can be used and enemies spawn with their own Devil Triggers active.
Two new skins are being added: Dante’s outfit from the original Devil May Cry and Vergil’s from DMC3. Vergil will also have his own Bloody Palace mode, which comes from a popular fan mod. A manual lock-on has also been added to appease old fans, and an overall rebalancing for the entire game has been done as an answer to feedback from the community. All of these additions and more are part of the DmC: Definitive Edition package on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, which will be sold for $39.99. There’s no word whether or not the skins, new modes, and balancing updates will be available on PC.
And last but not least, Capcom has also revealed that Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition is coming to current-gen consoles. No additional details have been made, such as whether or not it will receive a visual upgrade, but we know that it exists. Perhaps Capcom is doing this as a test to see which Devil May Cry series is more popular? Interesting.
As much as Ninja Theory’s comments upset Devil May Cry fans prior to the release of their reboot, I still think this game deserves some recognition. It’s not a whole like the original series, but it’s damn good regardless. This might lead to some angry comments, but I still hope to see a DmC sequel one day. I had a lot of fun with this game, and I hope some new people do too.

DmC Devil May Cry sees Dante’s origin story being retold against a contemporary backdrop. Dante is a young man with no respect for authority or society in general. He knows that he is not human, but also that he is not like the demons that have tormented him throughout his life. Caught between worlds, he feels like an outcast. Thanks to his twin brother Vergil, leader of the anti-establishment group “The Order”, Dante is now discovering and coming to terms with what it means to be the child of a demon and an angel. Combat and movement throughout the game are influenced by Dante’s ability to call upon both angel and demon abilities, dramatically affecting the gameplay style.
