\u00a0 \u00a0On March 8, 2019, the long awaited next installment in the mainline \u201cDevil May Cry\u201d series was released. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cDevil May Cry 5\u201d was released a little over 11 years after the previous game in the series, \u201cDevil May Cry 4\u201d came out initially on Jan. 31, 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0It is an action-adventure hack-and-slash video game that is developed and published by Capcom (known also for \u201cStreet Fighter,\u201d \u201cMega Man,\u201d \u201cAce Attorney\u201d and several other franchises). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The director will be once more be Hideaki Itsuno while the producers will be Michi Okabe and Matthew Walker, replacing the previous entry\u2019s producer, Hiroyuki Kobayashi. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The artist is Tetsuya Yoshikawa and the writer is Bingo Morihashi, returning from the prior game. Casey Edwards, Cody Matthew Johnson, and Jeff Rona are the trio of composers for the soundtrack. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The game will be available on Microsoft Windows, the PlayStation 4, and the Xbox One. It was made with the RE Engine, which was first utilized in \u201cResident Evil 7: Biohazard.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Itsuno explained that their development team was aiming for a style that appeared more photo-realistic. Their target has been stated to be that they will get 60 frames per second across all platforms that will run the game. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Production for \u201cDevil May Cry 5\u201d was in development limbo for some time. Far back in 2013, there was interest expressed in continuing the series. Originally, there were thoughts after \u201cDevil May Cry 4\u201d that the series would go on hiatus or it would come to an end with that particular game, possibly depending on if sales for \u201cDevil May Cry 4: Special Edition\u201d would be successful or not. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Itsuno dismissed the fear, however, by stating that the sales wouldn\u2019t have mattered in that regard, but it wound up doing well anyways.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cDevil May Cry\u201d as a series, however, does not go in chronological order by game title. The correct timeline order is: \u201cDevil May Cry 3,\u201d \u201cDevil May Cry,\u201d \u201cDevil May Cry: The Animated Series,\u201d \u201cDevil May Cry 2,\u201d \u201cDevil May Cry 4\u201d and finally \u201cDevil May Cry 5\u201d completes the series as of now. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Originally, it was meant to be announced in 2017. However, the idea that it could be announced alongside \u201cResident Evil 2\u2019s\u201d remake came up, leading to it being pushed back another year. The team of developers behind the game have a goal in mind: to make \u201cDevil May Cry 5\u201d the best action game of the Heisei period (the current era of Japan). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The gameplay will remain around the same as the previous installments. There will be a focus on fast-paced and stylish action. Players will have to fend off demon hordes with a variety of different weapons and abilities that they gain and train over the course of the story. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0From there, they will receive a style-rating for their fight through a number of factors such as move variety, combo length and how well they dodged attacks. Depending on the performance, the music that will play will change to fit the mood.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0After the 2018 edition of the Tokyo Game Show, \u201cDevil May Cry 5\u201d won the \u201cFuture Division\u201d award from the Japan Game Awards. From there, several different websites and magazines have reviewed the game, such as Metacritic, Famitsu, Destructoid, GameSpot, The Daily Telegraph and the Guardian among many others. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0All sources have received \u201cDevil May Cry 5\u201d with overwhelmingly positive feelings. The lowest score is an 86 from Metacritic for the PS4 version of the game while several other sources have given it a near perfect or perfect scores. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Currently, it is shaping up to be a game that continues the game\u2019s legacy without a hitch. Only time can tell when it hits shelves for fans to discover the new installment for themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n
