DmC: Devil May Cry

DmC 2013 Release Date and New Character Revealed

Capcom has confirmed a January 2013 release date for DmC, the Devil May Cry reboot that goes back to Dante's early years, and sees Enslaved and Heavenly Sword developer Ninja Theory taking a stab at the series. Capcom has also revealed the hooded girl that Dante encounters during his time in Limbo City.

Her name's Kat, and she'll be a supporting character in DmC. A runaway who joined The Order at an early age, Kat is a medium and gifted psychic that can see into the demon realm of Limbo, but is unable to directly interact with it like Dante can. Hence she'll appear in the game as an apparition for much of the game, guiding Dante through Limbo with her expertise on the demon realm.

Check out three new screenshots showing Kat below, then prepare for Dante's demon-slaying return when DmC launches on January 15th in North America and Europe. For more on DmC, check out our hands-on preview.

She looks like every other female character from a Ninja Theory game.

If there was ever a reason to not care about DmC, it's this. "Introducing the random hot chick who's going to constantly give you mission objectives but serve no real purpose. Also, she's probably mysterious, I dunno." Dante hits on her, hilarity ensues.

@#1 : That's called "re-inventing the format", by making it exactly the same.

Either way, I never got into DMC no matter how much I play them. If there's a Demo, I'll get that, otherwise I'll probably give it a miss.

@5 He clearly isn't wearing anything, as you can see she is fixated on the jewels and probably wants to be broken in by them later.

I hate that this is a reboot. They could have made this guy Dante's son or something. Well anyway at least it still looks good.

It's not even a reboot. It's Capcom using an idea for a game that is similar to an established IP, so they use said IP to boost sales and so people won't get fired if the game bombs.

@6
Not too many people wouldve had the courage to said what you have. I remember the outrage when Edios scaled down Lara Crofts boobs.

I hope it's an early-to-mid January release, so we don't have the usual void of a release schedule during that timeframe.

@6 Still a pretty revealing cut on that outfit. It may not be Soul Calibur-level cleavage, but I think she's still not quite out of the woods yet.

GotY right here.

I'm glad they gave it to a more impressive developer to fix the series. A DmC game might actually be entertaining for once! And even more shockingly... WELL-WRITTEN AND WELL-ACTED. I never thought I'd see the day, honestly.

still can't stand lame Twilight "Dante", now a new female character whose design makes me want Lady & Trish....hell, even Lucia and Kyrie. I'll still Gamefly it because the gameplay looks great, but wtf are they thinking with the emo redesign?

DMC needed a reboot, 1+3 were good, 2+4 were awful, with paper thin plots connecting the overall series. The new DMC may not be exactly to my tastes but I'm willing to at least play it before forming an opinion on it!

Ya I have a feeling its going to play extremelly similiar to enslaved. . . . which was pretty much just "Hey go here, jump over there and then do this! Yay now fight the final boss and you WIN!!!" I hate guide characters. Dont blame me blame Navi.

Wait one cotton picking second Capcom the horniest game company in the history of ever is making a girl character with normal sized breasts? Doth my eyes deceive me? Hath the sun split into two and formed a paradox around my corneas? Whatever shall happen next? Will team ninja announce an E rated version of dead or alive extreme 2 with no bouncing bosoms and instead of bikinis they wear the wooliest coats the eye has ever seen so all of the girls get massive heat strokes and die? The End

How can so many people compare the new Dante to a guy from Twilight? Have we got something to come out of the closet?
