A brief overview of the basic combat fundamentals in DmC Devil May Cry.

Capcom has announced that a DMC: Devil May Cry demo is now available for download from the Xbox LIVE Market Place worldwide and the PlayStation Network in North America, the demo will be available on the European PlayStation Network tomorrow (November 21st).

The demo includes two missions: Under Watch, which takes place in the heart of DmC’s city streets, and Secret Ingredient, which is a boss battle against the Succubus demon (above). At the start of the demo players will have the choice of three default difficulties to select from, but if you complete both missions on one of those three settings you’ll unlock an extra Son of Sparda mode.

The Son of Sparda mode is the demo’s hardest difficulty setting and features a unique set of tougher enemies and enemy waves to take on.

Episode 2 in this behind-the-scenes series looks at the game's co-stars Kat and Vergil.

A playable demo of DmC: Devil May Cry will be available for download for the Xbox 360 and PS3 on November 20th, Capcom has announced.

The demo will contain two action-packed missions, one of which is a big boss battle. The demo will contain a few of the game's difficulty modes, including the remixed "Son of Sparda" mode, which becomes unlocked after one completion. Players will also have access to a variety of the game's weapon upgrades and a couple of secrets.

Capcom has announced that Vergil’s Downfall, an additional chapter for DMC: Devil May Cry which tells the story of Dante’s twin brother Vergil, will be available for download from XBLA and PSN shortly after the launch of the game.

Vergil’s Downfall contains hours of new gameplay, 4 difficulty levels and the opportunity to play as Vergil with an all new storyline, weapons, combos, enemies and locations. Vergil’s Downfall will be available for 720 MS points or €8.99 / £7.29 from the PlayStation Network.

Those who pre-order DMC: Devil May Cry from GameStop (US) or EBGames (Canada) will get the DLC for free. Details of the European pre-order initiatives will be available soon.

DmC: Devil May Cry arrives on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on 15th January across North America and Europe with a PC version shortly after.

DmC: Devil May Cry is going to be locked at 30 frames per second on consoles, a shift from DMC4's buttery 60 fps. But Capcom has told fans it will still look silky-smooth, thanks to some animation and control trickery that fools your eyes into feeling like it's seeing more frames than it is.

Capcom has revealed that DmC: Devil May Cry will have four special difficulty modes, in addition to the standard three difficulty modes; Human (Easy), Devil Hunter (Normal) and Nephilim (Hard).

Each of the special difficulty modes will be unlocked upon successive playthroughs of the game on the previous difficulties. For example, the Son of Sparda difficulty mode becomes accessible after one complete playthrough on any of the default difficulties, the other special modes will then become available following the completion of the previous.

The four special difficulty modes include:

Son of Sparda - Remixed enemy layouts, tougher enemies and enemy behavior throughout.

Dante Must Die - As above, but contains the strongest enemies and insane attack waves.

Heaven or Hell - Another remixed mode, but everyone and everything, including Dante, dies after one hit.

Hell and Hell - The same as above, but only Dante dies after one hit. For serious contenders.

DmC: Devil May Cry will be available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on January 15th 2013, a PC version will follow.

Capcom has explained the exclusion of a co-op component in Ninja Theory's forthcoming Devil May Cry reboot. The publisher's senior producer Alex Jones explained that co-op hasn't been implemented for narrative reasons. The developers wanted to tell the story of Dante and to see another character join him on the journey would have an "impact on the narrative."
