'''''DmC: Devil May Cry''''' is a [[Beat'Em Up]] [[Action Game]] developed by Ninja Theory, notably known for ''[[Heavenly Sword]]'' and ''[[Enslaved: Odyssey to the West]]''. At first announced as a [[Continuity Reboot]] to the ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' series, it became a prequel, [[Flip-Flop of God|and now]] it is an [[Alternate Continuity]] in a parallel universe… [http://www.siliconera.com/2011/10/31/dmc-devil-may-cry-takes-place-in-a-parallel-world-with-a-different-dante/ or something].
 
''DmC'' should be considered as an entirely different game from the original series. Along with hisDante's obvious aesthetic changes which drew a... [[Ruined FOREVER|rather lukewarm]] reaction from the fanbase, previewsthere showis a further emphasis on platforming and aerial combos; with the protagonist alternating between the real, gloomy-looking world and a distorted parallel world with extremely vivid colors where [[Everything Trying to Kill You|the city itself tries to kill him.]] Dante can switch between demonic and angelic powers, use several weapons like a sword, an [[An Axe to Grind|axe]] or a [[Sinister Scythe|scythe]], and he can temporarily freeze time to kick more ass.
Anyway, it seems it should be considered as an entirely different game from the original series.
Along with his obvious aesthetic changes which drew a... [[Ruined FOREVER|rather lukewarm]] reaction from the fanbase, previews show a further emphasis on platforming and aerial combos; with the protagonist alternating between the real, gloomy-looking world and a distorted parallel world with extremely vivid colors where [[Everything Trying to Kill You|the city itself tries to kill him.]]
 
Not much is known of the story yet, we just know that Dante is half-demon and half-angel, that he is labelled as a "terrorist" and that he will be accompanied by a medium girl named Kat. As for the gameplay, he will be able to switch between demonic and angelic powers. He can use several weapons like a sword, an [[An Axe to Grind|axe]] or a [[Sinister Scythe|scythe]], and he can temporarily freeze time to kick more ass.
 
''DmC'' was released in the US and Europe on January 15th, 2013 for Xbox 360 and [[PS3]], and was released on PC later that year.
