DmC: Devil May Cry is a reboot of the iconic series developed by Ninja Theory, where a young Dante fights against demon emperor Mundus in a contemporary, dystopian world. Dante discovers he is the child of both an angel and a demon, and uses his split heritage to transform his Rebellion sword on the fly, calling upon angel and demon abilities to dramatically affect combat and movement. The game retains the stylish action, fluid combat, and self-assured protagonist that defined Devil May Cry, but injects a more brutal and visceral edge with cinematic quality and compelling narrative.
