TOKYO – Capcom and a team of Western developers will reboot the Devil May Cry action series with a new game called simply DMC, the company said Wednesday.
This new game is meant to recolor the series, painting Dante as a "rebellious youth" and mixing his character with modern fashion and style.
For this arduous task, Capcom will rely on its U.S. branch, with producer Alex Jones at the reins. He will be assisted by director Tameem Antoniades of Ninja Theory (Heavenly Sword) and co-director Hideaki Itsuno.
It's an all-star cast, and Itsuno even went as far to say "there's no way a group like us could possibly fail." Still, it's a wonder what the fans who have followed Dante closely up until now will say about his new makeover. The short trailer has shown us little else.
Capcom will release the game on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
