Devil May Cry 5

It appears that Capcom may be set to bring Devil May Cry 5 to Nintendo Switch 2. YouTuber Doctre81 spotted a rating that has surfaced in Taiwan for Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition for Nintendo Switch 2, which likely is a version of the game that packs in the base release plus Vergil DLC.

Devil May Cry 5 was initially released in March 2019. Currently, only the first three DMC games are available on Nintendo Switch 2 through backwards compatibility for Nintendo Switch.

Capcom has been a major supporter of the system this year, bringing Resident Evil VII, Village, and Requiem, plus Pragmata, which is set to release next month. You can view Doctre81’s video below, alongside an overview of Devil May Cry 5 via Steam:

The Devil you know returns in this brand new entry in the over-the-top action series available on the PC. Prepare to get downright demonic with this signature blend of high-octane stylized action and otherworldly & original characters the series is known for. Director Hideaki Itsuno and the core team have returned to create the most insane, technically advanced and utterly unmissable action experience of this generation!

The threat of demonic power has returned to menace the world once again in Devil May Cry 5. The invasion begins when the seeds of a “demon tree” take root in Red Grave City. As this hellish incursion starts to take over the city, a young demon hunter Nero, arrives with his partner Nico in their “Devil May Cry” motorhome. Finding himself without the use of his right arm, Nero enlists Nico, a self-professed weapons artist, to design a variety of unique mechanical Devil Breaker arms to give him extra powers to take on evil demons such as the blood sucking flying Empusa and giant colossus enemy Goliath.

Devil May Cry 5 is available now for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

Most of the nation is occupied, the military is scattered, and the Endurance is just one fragment of what remains. On this shop, you’re given a single name: “Wings of Theve”. A legendary ace, a symbol of hope, a name tied to Theve, the FCU capital.

But that legend was a lie; it was a story made to keep morale alive. Now, you must carry that name and take to the skies again. With three new comrades at your side, fight to reclaim your lost homeland.
