Capcom and Ninja Theory have today confirmed that DMC: Devil May Cry is now available for purchase on both the Playstation 3 and XBox360 video game consoles in North America and PAL Regions (Europe, Australia etc). The PC version on the other hand will be released slightly later on the 25th January with both retail and Digital Download distribution planned.
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 is set to retain 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”.
