Devil May Cry V Ships Over Two Million Copies In Just Two Weeks

Looks like Devil May Cry V as achieved S-rank as the title has shipped over 2 million copies across all platforms globally. It’s great to see that Capcom is back and better. Of course, we already know the game will have its free Bloody Palace update next month, so there's at least some DMC5 to look forward to.

Bloody Palace Coming To Devil May Cry V In April

Bloody Palace is a survival mode that has been in every Devil May Cry game (minus the first one), and it is coming to Devil May Cry 5 as a free update very soon. The mode will be available on April 1. Here are some more details directly from the press release announcing the update.

“Bloody Palace is a survival mode that pits you against hordes of increasingly difficult enemies and bosses whilst racing against the ticking timer. Play as Dante, Nero or V in Bloody Palace Mode through multiple levels of enemies and truly test your SSStylish skills.”

For comparison, Resident Evil sits at third place with an all-time high of 74,024, while Monster Hunter: World, sits at an all-time high of 329,333 players. 

There Are No Plans For Post Launch DLC For Devil May Cry 5

It appears that Capcom won’t be releasing any post-launch DLC for Devil May Cry 5, with the exception of the free Bloody Palace update. Matt Walker, a producer on the game, announced the lack of plans in answer to a fan on Twitter. 

It's nice to know in advance that what you're buying is all you're going to need to enjoy the whole game.

Devil May Cry V Announced, Will Feature 3 Playable Characters

During the Xbox E3 conference, Capcom officially announced Devil May Cry 5. Producer Matt Walker and director Hideaki Itsuno appeared onstage after the trailer, promising that the game will be the true sequel to Devil May Cry 4 that fans have been waiting for since the game's launch 10 years ago. The game features 3 playable characters, but the announcement trailer focused on Nero, nephew and rival to Dante. In Devil May Cry 5, Nico, a craftswoman and new character to the series, assists Nero by supplying him with prosthetic arms equipped with various abilities. Nero also takes his iconic sword "Red Queen" and pistol "Blue Rose" into battle. Devil May Cry 5 is set to launch spring 2019 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Capcom says more details on the game will arrive at Gamescom 2018.

Actor Puts Devil May Cry 5 On Resume

According to ShackNews, actor Nils Hognestad posted a role for Devil May Cry 5 to his resume page, though it has since been deleted. The actor stated in the post on his resume that he is playing the lead character. Whether that means Dante or someone else isn’t clear. Will we see a DMC 5 announcement at E3 ? Guess we’ll have to wait to find out. What do you think ?
