Devil May Cry V leaked. The Capcoms hack and slash franchise game Devil May Cry has been a popular game since childhood. It was first released on the PS2 and succeeded in becoming a franchise. The last Devil May Cry game was Devil May Cry 4, which was released in 2008, with a reboot of DMC in 2013.
Since then, there has been no solid news of any new Devil May Cry V titles, except for DMC4 SE and DMC Definitive Edition, which are rebooted versions of DMC4 SE and DMC games. Fans have been waiting for the announcement of a new game from Devil May Cry franchise director Hideaki Itsuno, but no news. He tweeted that his new game, which could be DMC 5, is going well, but there is no evidence.
A huge Devil May Cry V leak recently appeared with potential details about the new Devil May Cry game, story, characters, development, and more. The leak was posted by a ResetEra user named Son of Sparda, who said they would accept a permanent ban if the leak turns out to be fake.
Release date and production
The game will be released in fiscal year 2019, which means between 2018 and 2019.
Devil May Cry V was originally scheduled to be announced at the Sony PSX event on December 8th, but after receiving feedback, Sony is set to announce the new game at E3 2018.
There will be a demo version of the game that you can play before the game’s release.
This will be the maximum time a DMC game has been developed, around 5 years. Game development is proceeding smoothly so that there are no mistakes.
This time Sony is paying some of the money to make this title a PS4 exclusive for a short period of time. It can be a PS4 exclusive, a console exclusive, or a time-limited exclusive.
This time, the DMC V title is said to be ‘ambitious’ with a broader appeal.
DMC V includes the longest cutscenes of any DMC game.
The trailer has been ready for a long time. The initial trailer is 1 minute 50 seconds long. Trailers mainly focus on the story, characters, and gameplay. A city-like setting that closely resembles the city of Fortuna in DMC4 is shown in the trailer.
Development Team
The Itsunos team, who made the previous DMC game, is also working on this new game.
Yuji Shimomura returns as the cutscene director who worked on the DMC3, 4, and Bayonetta cutscenes.
Dante is voiced by Reuben Langdon, Nero as Johny Young Bosch, and Vergil as Dan Southworth.
Onyay Pheori is helping with the soundtrack.
It is unknown whether the actresses who played Trish and Lady will return.
character and story
DMCV picks up the story right where DMC 4 left off.
Dante and Nero can play more than one player and the third character is unknown but will be Vergil. Currently up to 3 playable characters have been proposed.
Trish plays an important role in DMC5, but it’s unknown if she’ll be playable.
Character transitions during the main story points of the game.
The ‘Prince of Darkness’ appears in the game as the main antagonist of the story.
There is no word on whether Vergil will be playable.
DMC5 could be the end of the “Son of Sparda” storyline.
game play
The console targets 60 frames per second, just like previous DMC games.
There is no health bar.
There will be areas in the DMC game where you will face more enemies than you are used to.
A mission and ranking system similar to previous DMC games. Bosses increase dramatically in DMCV. One of the boss fights takes you between different areas of the game.
The camera pulls back during a big fight. The developers are really proud of their new dynamic camera system.
There is online integration, but no multiplayer PVP.
The evasion system has been reworked and evasion is generally much smoother than before.
Enemies react slightly differently depending on their style.
Dynamic environment destruction/transformation is in progress, but not on the scale of Dmc so far.
Devil May Cry’s level design and navigation is similar to Bayonetta, but without QTE or QuickTime events. QTEs usually don’t exist in DMC games.
The animation is being improved to be less stiff.
Devil May Cry V is not an open world game, but some inspiration is from Dragon’s Dogma.
So, people take this information without any change since there is no original announcement from CAPCOM. However, the announcement will be at E3 2018. So I hope that’s true.
