London, UK. — January 15, 2013 — Capcom®, a
leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today
confirmed that DmC Devil May Cry™ is now available for the
Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft® and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system

Informer, Destructoid, Gamereactor UK, GamesTM magazine, Computer
and Video Game.com and the Official Xbox Magazines in both North
America and UK.
Developed by Ninja Theory, DmC Devil May Cry sees the return of
iconic video-game character, Dante. In a retelling of his origin
story, DmC Devil May Cry retains the stylish action, fluid combat
and self-assured protagonist that have defined the iconic series
but injects it with a more brutal and visceral edge. Dante knows
that he is not human, but also that he is not like the demons that
have tormented him throughout his life. Caught between worlds,
Dante must discover what it means to be the child of a demon and an
angel with the help of his twin brother, Vergil, leader of the
anti-establishment group “The Order”.

additional downloadable content post launch. Coming to Xbox
360®, PlayStation®3 and Windows PC shortly after launch
completely free of charge will be Bloody Palace Mode. The highly
anticipated mode will deliver over 100 bonus levels featuring wave
after wave of enemy attacks. Stylish combat will be recognised with
gamers having the opportunity to top the global leader boards as
Bloody Palace’s number one demon slayer. Vergil’s
Downfall is currently planned for release at the end of February
for Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3 and Windows PC owners. The
additional content will provide players with a brand new chapter of
the DmC Devil May Cry adventure which follows the untold story of
Dante’s twin brother Vergil. The add on contains hours
of brand new gameplay, four difficulty levels and an all new
storyline, weapons, combos, enemies and locations. Vergil’s
