Devil May Cry 4 To Appear At Leipzig
Capcom have announced that the Xbox 360 version of the former PS3 exclusive, Devil May Cry 4, will make its debut at Leipzig this year. However, both versions will be on display. For those of you traveling there, it will be at Stand C02, Hall 2. There, you will play as Nero, a brand spanking new character to the franchise and the new lead protagonist. In case you were wondering what the story is for DMC4, here it is:
As a knight in the Order of Maken, an ancient sect that worships Sparda the devil warrior who saved mankind, Nero has sworn an oath to annihilate all demons; so when Dante bursts in on an important Maken ceremony and slaughters numerous worshippers, Nero assumes Dante must be a demon and launches into a frenzied attack. But will Dante turn out to be the true enemy?
Well, Nero obviously doesn't know that Dante is the son of Sparda and that he could very well be in for the ass kicking of his life if he pisses him off. I love the DMC series, oh so very very much and I look forward to getting my hot little hands all over Dante and Nero, errrrmm, Devil May Cry 4 to make use of Nero’s Devil Bringer arm. Since I'm the sufficiently proud owner of a new PlayStation 3 now (boy did I get a deal on that), the only decision left to be made will be which version to get? It will all come down to performance and downloadable content. I suppose we'll find out who will win out soon enough.
Full press release after the jump!
