Gameplay
The gameplay will feature the return of Dante and Nero as playable characters, along with a new character, named "V".The gameplay is similar to the other titles in the Devil May Cry series, focusing on fast-paced "stylish action". The player fights off hordes of demons with a variety of attacks and weapons and receives a style-rating in combat based on a number of factors, such as move variety, the length of a combo and dodging attacks. The music in the game will change based on the player's performance in combat.
Nero is equipped with his Red Queen sword, his Blue Rose double-barreled revolver, and an assortment of new robotic arms called Devil Breakers, with a variety of functions such as grabbing enemies from a distance or stopping time to freeze an enemy in place. Along with his signature blade Rebellion and the demonic sword Sparda, Dante was shown using two new Devil Arms, a pair of buzzsaw-like weapons that combine into a motorcycle called Cavaliere, and a set of fiery gauntlets and boots called Balrog. In addition, Dante will also wield Cerberus, introduced in Devil May Cry 3. The third playable character, V, is shown wielding a cane and a book. During an interview, Capcom decided not to disclose how exactly V fights yet, though have teased that V's combat would be completely different from Nero's and Dante's. In the Game Awards 2018 trailer, it is revealed that V uses three demons based on enemies from the first game to fight which includes Griffon, an eagle that uses ranged lightning based attacks, Shadow, a panther that forms blades, spikes and portals out of its body, and Nightmare, a large golem which Venters a Devil Trigger-like state, which turns his hair white, to summon, which uses a combination of melee attacks and laser beams.
Plot
The story takes place several years after the events of Devil May Cry 4. A man known as "V" comes to the Devil May Cry office to hire Dante to solve a series of demon attacks occurring across the world. Meanwhile, Nero has set up his own demon hunting agency based out of a van adorned with a neon "Devil May Cry" sign Dante gave him with support by his engineer Nico, who built him a robotic prosthetic arm called the "Devil Breaker" after his original Devil Bringer arm was taken by a mysterious hooded individual. Nero's hunt for the hooded figure, a powerful demon named Urizen, brings him to Red Grave City, which Dante deduces as the epicentre of the demon attacks. The city then becomes ground zero for the growth of the Qliphoth tree, as Urizen nourishes its fruit with human blood so he can consume it and become king of the Underworld.
