Devil May Cry (Japanese: デビル メイ クライHepburn: Debiru Mei Kurai) is an action-adventurehack and slash video game series developed and published by Capcom and created by Hideki Kamiya. The series centers on the main character Dante's goal of avenging his mother's murder by exterminating demons. The gameplay consists of heavy combat scenes in which the player must attempt to extend long chains of attacks while avoiding damage in order to exhibit stylized combat; this element along with time and the number of items collected and used are taken under consideration when grading the player's performance.

The series is very loosely based on the Italian poem Divine Comedy by the use of allusions, including the game's protagonist Dante (named after Dante Alighieri) and other characters like Vergil (Virgil), Trish (Beatrice Portinari), Lucia (Saint Lucy), Mundus (Satan), Furiataurus (the Minotaur), Geryon, and Cerberus. Many of the enemies are also named after the Seven Deadly Sins, such as 'Hell Pride' or 'Hell Lust'.
The series has been a success with the all main entries selling multiple million copies and being awarded the 'Platinum Title' award by Capcom. The success of the video game series has led to the creation of comic books, novelizations, an animated series, guides, collectibles, publications, and a variety of action figures. A high-definition remaster of the three PlayStation 2 titles was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012 and again in 2018 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. During the 2010 edition of the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom revealed a new game, named DmC: Devil May Cry. It was co-developed by Ninja Theory and Capcom. It was a reboot of the series that explores similar themes and also satirizes certain social themes.
At E3 2018, Capcom revealed a new installment in the original series, Devil May Cry 5, which was released on March 8, 2019.

The gameplay of the series focuses primarily on fast-paced, highly stylized combat; gaining a high style ranking requires long attack and evasion strings while avoiding damage. The game also features some puzzle-solving and exploration elements retained from its survival horror origins, but these are downplayed; Devil May Cry games place the emphasis on action. In later games, the system was slightly modified so players had to actively vary the attacks used, so as to maintain the style rank. The style rank is tracked during combat with letter grades, from worst to best: D, C, B, A, S. They are also represented by words that start with the first letter of the class, 'Dull' for D for example. The third game introduced 'SS' and 'SSS' ranks, which continues in further installments. The player's performance on each level is also ranked using these letters.[1]
The 'Devil Trigger' ability enables the player's character to transform into a devilish form with additional powers based on their current weapon, while the character's strength and speed increase and health is slowly restored.[1] Notable weapons in the series include the swords Force Edge/Sparda in Devil May Cry,[2] Rebellion in Devil May Cry 2,[3] and Yamato in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening.[4] Ammunition for the player's guns (semi automatic pistols named Ebony & Ivory throughout most of the series) is infinite due to the 'style!' meter and ranking encouraging players to attack continuously while avoiding damage.[1]
Dante is generally the lead character in the games, although most of the games offer other playable characters; Devil May Cry 2 featured Lucia, the Special Edition of Devil May Cry 3 allowed the player to use Vergil, Devil May Cry 4 featured a new protagonist named Nero (Special Edition added both Trish and Lady as playable characters), and Devil May Cry 5 carried Nero over as the co-protagonist alongside Dante and new character 'V'. Devil May Cry 2 also allows players to use Trish once the game is completed with either Dante or Lucia.
Devil May Cry 2 introduced the ability to perform combination attacks in mid-air and an evasion button. It also introduced a weapon-change button, so the player could cycle through ranged weapons without switching to the inventory screen.
Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening added a selection of gameplay styles, allowing the player to focus on their favorite techniques or weapons, whether it be swords(swordmaster), guns(gunslinger), evasion(trickster) or defense(royalguard). Each of the four basic styles gain experience points, which unlock more techniques and abilities without costing 'red orbs', the common currency of the series. A second weapon-change button was added, allowing the player to cycle through the character's melee weaponry, specifically known as Devil Arms, as well.[5]
Devil May Cry 4 brought one major innovation in the form of the main character Nero's 'Devil Bringer' arm, which gives players the ability to pull distant enemies in to be attacked, or smash them into the ground. Nero is also armed with a sword that can be 'revved' up via a throttle handle, allowing players to precharge the sword for extra damage on the next hit, or with precise timing it can be charged after each attack, for extra damage and style. As Dante, players can also seamlessly switch fighting styles in mid-combat.[6]
DmC: Devil May Cry introduced the concept of changing environments to the gameplay. Players would be able to reach hidden areas through the use of the 'Ophion' whip and grappling-hook, in addition to the weapon having similar functions to the 'Devil Bringer' from Devil May Cry 4. Additionally the environment itself would often 'attack' Dante by changing its architecture and infrastructure to a much more hostile form, often prompting fast-paced chase sequences and platforming scenarios.[7][8]
Series plot[edit]
Devil May Cry series chronology |
---|
The series lore opens two millennia prior to the first game, with the demon Sparda, The Black Knight, defeating Mundus, ruler of the Demon World. Sparda manages to stop Mundus from conquering the human world by sealing numerous hellgates around the world. With a ritual requiring his own blood and the aid of a powerful priestess, he was able to seal the last portal, Temen-Ni-Gru. Sparda chose to remain in the Human World, where he established a religious sect known as 'The Order of the Sword'. Long after, he would fall in love with a beautiful, human woman named Eva, who would bear him twin boys, Dante and Vergil. The brothers, were each given half of a locket belonging to their father, consisting of a relic and a sword. Tragedy would befall the young boys time and again, starting with the murder of their mother at the hands of Mundus as part of his revenge against his nemesis, Sparda. This article will detail the plot in chronological order rather than by release of each individual game, as each installment in the Devil May Cry series takes place out of a linear sequence.
The plot begins with Devil May Cry 3 released in 2005, taking place a year after Dante had a falling out with his twin brother Vergil, likely resulting from an argument over their mother. Dante had since finished setting up his new, as of yet unnamed shop, when he's visited by a man named Arkham, who stated he was calling Dante out on Vergil's behalf.[9] Soon after, an immense tower erupts from the ground a short distance away from the shop, and Dante takes it as a challenge from Vergil himself.[10] Dante encounters several powerful demons, including Cerberus and the mysterious Jester, before arriving at the tower's summit, now revealed to be Temen-Ni-Gru. Here Dante is attacked by his brother Vergil and despite Dante's growing abilities, loses. Vergil then takes Dante's locket and leaves with Arkham. Bloody and dying in the rain, the dormant devil power within Dante revives him and he resumes pursuit of his brother. Vergil, as it is revealed, wants to use the pendants their mother gave them in a ritual to create a portal to the Demon World. The battle is soon joined by Lady, a woman out to avenge her mother's death at the hands of Arkham: her father. Arkham, soon revealed to be Jester, had been manipulating the three into completing the ritual which would allow him to acquire Sparda's mighty sword, The Force Edge, and claim its power as his own.[11][12] With the ritual complete, Arkham leaves the three of them for dead on the floor. Dante gives chase after the madman, whose new power begins to mutate him into a massive abomination. Vergil re-joins Dante to aid him in defeating Arkham, and together they prove victorious. At the conclusion of the battle, however, Vergil refuses to back down on his goal to open the portal to the demon world. The brothers then resume their battle with each other. Dante's new weapons and abilities prove too much for Vergil and he is victorious, able to reclaim his half of the locket. The portal begins to close and Vergil makes his way towards it. Dante pleads with his brother not to go before Vergil, smirking, leaps into the Demon World before the portal closes once again. Here Vergil would be tested and challenged, eventually crossing paths with his mother's killer Mundus. Upon returning to the human world, Dante meets Lady outside the collapsing tower. In an effort to comfort the grieving brother, she manages to coin the phrase 'devil may cry'. They remain close friends and allies in hunting down demons and those who would use them. Dante even named his shop after 'Devil May Cry' in small thanks to Lady.[13][14]
In the 2001 title Devil May Cry, the first released game in the series, Dante is confronted by Trish who wanted to test if he is the son of Sparda before revealing that Mundus is planning his return, and only a descendant of Sparda can defeat him.[15] Dante explores Mallet Island, where Mundus is set to return, encountering a variety of demons that included Mundus' generals who realized that Dante had ultimately surpassed Sparda in power.[16] Dante also encounters a strangely honourable opponent named Nelo Angelo who overpowered him in their first encounter before running off upon seeing Dante's locket.[17] It was only during their final battle that Dante learns that Angelo is Vergil after being defeated by Mundus and made into a thrall. Dante puts his brother out of his misery. As Dante draws closer to Mundus, he falls into a trap that reveals Trish is the demon's agent before saving her because of her resemblance to his mother. This act motivated Trish to risk her wellbeing to save Dante from Mundus, with Dante coming to understand his father's power.[18] Dante proceeds to battle Mundus, managing to defeat him when Trish arrives to help him send Mundus back to the Demon World.[19] Dante and Trish escape as the island collapses and later are seen working together in the shop, temporarily renamed 'Devil Never Cry'.
In the 2003 game Devil May Cry 2, Dante is invited by an associate named Lucia to meet her mother Matier on Dumary Island. Dante learns that a businessman named Arius is collecting artifacts called Arcana to summon a demon lord known as Argosax.[20] Dante flips a coin, and based on the result, he decides to help.[21] Lucia confronts Arius, who reveals that she was his creation.[22] Shortly afterward, Lucia gives Dante the last of the Arcana before leaving to face Arius alone.[23] Dante then encounters Matier who asks Dante to take the Arcana to save Lucia from Arius.[24] Lucia attacks Arius, though he captures her. Dante arrives and trades the Arcana for Lucia, then attacks Arius, who escapes.[25] A large stream of energy strikes the Ouroboros tower and a portal to the demon world is opened. Dante and Lucia argue over who will enter, but Dante flips his coin to determine that he will be the one to go.[26] After Dante departs, Arius returns to the human world, though Lucia goes on to defeat him.[27] After defeating the partially summoned Argosax, Dante finds himself trapped in the Demon World and decides to venture further in. In the aftermath, Matier assuring her that Sparda returned from a similar trip, Lucia looked after Dante's shop while musing over the Dante's coin as she discover it is two-headed. Outside the sound of a motorcycle echoes, and Lucia leaves to investigate.
In the 2007 Devil May Cry: The Animated Series anime, Trish having left to work as a solo demon hunter, Dante is hired as the bodyguard of a young heiress named Patty who grew to love him to the point of spending most of her time at 'Devil May Cry', often cleaning it or decorating it in a 'girly fashion' to Dante's dismay as he takes a few odd jobs on the side. Trish eventually returns to Dante alongside Lady when she hired Dante to pay off his huge debt to her. While the two women did not get along right away, they and Dante wind up working together to take on certain difficult jobs. Near the end of the series it is revealed that Patty's mother is the descendant of a human sorcerer who sealed away the power of an ancient devil lord named Abigail, Patty being targeted by a demon named Sid seeking to gain Abigail's power. While Lady and Trish fight off demons summoned by Sid while Dante kills the demon. Sometime later, Dante, Trish, and Lady all get hired on the same job and take bets on who will win. Patty comes into Dante's shop to clean, showing that the two continue to have a somewhat father-daughter type of relationship.
In the 2008 game Devil May Cry 4, Dante and Trish learn of foul play within the Order of the Sword and investigate while learning of its religious leader's scheme to conquer the world using Vergil's sword Yamato. Dante seemingly assassinates the Sanctus, only to face a young demon hunter acolyte named Nero who awakened his own demonic powers as a descendant of Sparda. Nero goes on a quest to capture Dante while gaining Yamato, only to learn the Order's dark secrets before being captured by Sanctus through his girlfriend. Dante manages to cripple Sanctus's plans before freeing Nero to finish the job, the two parting ways on good terms with Nero allowed to keep Yamato.
In the 2019 game Devil May Cry 5, set several years after the events of Devil May Cry 4, Nero runs his own mobile branch of Dante's 'Devil May Cry' business.[28] He befriends Nico, a self-proclaimed weapons artist and descendant of the gunsmith who originally crafted Dante's Ebony and Ivory handguns.[29] At some point in the story, Nero's Devil Bringer arm from Devil May Cry 4 is dismembered and stolen by an unknown assailant. Nero, now armed with a versatile prosthetic arm called the 'Devil Breaker' created by Nico, sets off to find something he has lost as he, Dante and a mysterious new demon hunter named V face their 'strongest foe yet'.[30][31]
While the series' timeline had originally placed Devil May Cry 4 before Devil May Cry 2, this was retconned with the release of Devil May Cry 5.[32][33] The 2013 game DmC: Devil May Cry developed by Ninja Theory is not set in the timeline, taking place in an alternate universe to the main series.[34]
Development[edit]
In 1998, after the completion of Resident Evil 2, preliminary work on a PlayStation 2 installment of the Resident Evil series began under the direction of Hideki Kamiya, under the name 'Team Little Devil'.[35] Early research and development work included a trip to Spain to examine various castles as a basis for the game's environments. However, in prototype status, it proved to be a radical departure from the established Resident Evil formula and the survival horror genre in general. Rather than abandon the project entirely, Kamiya rewrote the story and changed the premise, taking it from Italian poet Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy;[36][37] it eventually became Devil May Cry.[38]
Despite the success of the original Devil May Cry, the sequel was not created by Kamiya or Team Little Devils.[39][40] Following the mixed reception received by Devil May Cry 2, Capcom decided to develop the next game in a similar manner to the series' more critically successful first entry. Gameplay elements such as the size of environments and the game's battle engine were reconsidered.[41]
While the fourth game was a commercial and critical success, the staff thought about rebooting the series taking into account how other game series had better sales.[42] They chose Ninja Theory, impressed with their work on Heavenly Sword which the staff thought would work with a Devil May Cry game.[43] Nevertheless, in 2013 Itsuno showed interest in continuing the original Devil May Cry series by developing a fifth installment.[44] It was originally thought Itsuno revealed that the series could go on hiatus or end for good if Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition was not a commercial success.[45] However, in an interview with GameSpot, Itsuno confirmed that the series future did not rest on Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition's sales. He also alleviated fears that DmC: Devil May Cry's sales killed the series, confirming that Capcom was satisfied with them.[46] In mid-January 2016, Itsuno stated on Twitter that he's begun work on a new project which couldn't be announced just yet[47] and later in March, Reuben Langdon and Johnny Yong Bosch, who had done voice acting and motion capture for Dante and Nero respectively in Devil May Cry 4, took pictures of themselves in motion capture gear, leading to speculation that a new Devil May Cry game is in development.[48] In response on Twitter regarding any truth about the speculation, Capcom Vancouver stated that 'It's not a game that [they] announced that [they are] working on at [their] studio'.[49] On May 17th 2018, the domain name 'DevilMayCry5.com' was registered by an unknown entity under Capcom's Onamae domain register.[50]Devil May Cry 5, featuring the return of Dante and Nero, was confirmed at E3 2018 for a release the following year.[51]
Kamiya, now working at PlatinumGames, has expressed interest in making a remake of the first installment as well as a crossover game featuring Dante and Bayonetta.[52]
Other media[edit]
Light novels[edit]
There have been multiple printed adaptations of the series. Two Devil May Cry light novels written by Shinya Goikeda and illustrated by Shirow Miwa have been published, first in Japan in 2002 and later translated and released in the United States in 2006. The first, entitled Devil May Cry Volume 1, was published in Japan in conjunction with the release of the first game and depicts Dante in an adventure set prior to the events of the game. The second novel (entitled Devil May Cry Volume 2 in the U.S.), was published in Japan to coincide with the release of the second game and takes place after the events of the first game. Publisher Tokyopop released the books in the United States in June and November 2006, respectively.
Bingo Morihashi also wrote a Devil May Cry 4 novel titled Devil May Cry 4 Deadly Fortune. The two volume series was released by in Japan in 2009 and featured multiple scenes that were not included in the original game due to time restraints. On March 1, 2019, a prequel novel that takes places before Devil May Cry 5 and leads up to beginning of the game was released and written by Bingo Morihashi.
Comics and Manga[edit]
Three issues of a comic adaptation of the first game were published by Canadian publisher Dreamwave Productions in 2004, but the series was left unfinished when the company went bankrupt in 2005.[53] On July 25, 2008, both WildStorm (a DC Comics’ imprint) and Capcom announced that they are joining to create a new Devil May Crycomic book series. The details on the new comic series, including creative team and launch month, will be announced at a later date.[54]
Two volumes of a planned three-part Devil May Cry 3 manga series have been published in Japan and the United States. Taking place a year before the events of Devil May Cry 3, the manga tells the story of how the characters came to be where they are at the start of the game.
On March 7, it was announced that a tie-in manga titled 'Devil May Cry 5 Visions of V' will be serializing on electronic Japanese manga hosting site, LINE MANGA (LINE マンガ).[55] The manga's illustration is Tomio Ogata.

In November 2018, Adi Shankar announced he had acquired the rights to produce a Devil May Cry animated series. Shankar has been completing a similar animated series for Konami's Castlevania, and he said that he would consider both series would be part of a shared 'bootleg multiverse'.[62]
Film[edit]
On February 28, 2011, it was announced that Screen Gems, the company responsible for making Capcom video game series Resident Evil into a film series, had purchased feature film rights to the Devil May Cry series.[63] It has been stated that Kyle Ward will be writing the script for the film. It has also been confirmed by Capcom at E3, that the film will be based on the new game, DmC: Devil May Cry, though Dante's look will stay more true to his classic self. The film is being positioned as an origin story for Dante.[64][65][66]
Plays[edit]
In August 2015, Capcom produced a collaborative stage play with the Devil May Cry series and Sengoku Basara series titled 'Sengoku Basara vs. Devil May Cry'. In the play, Dante, Lady, Trish, and Vergil come across some mysterious historical ruins while chasing after a devil, and are sent back in time to Japan's Warring States era. There, the group meets Date Masamune, Sanada Yukimura, and other characters from the Sengoku Basara franchise. The play ran the AiiA 2.5 Theater Tokyo for 18 performances from August 20–30.
