People were dealt quite a blow at the end of April 2019. Matt Walker, one of the Devil May Cry 5 producers, said that development on the game ended. While data mining had hinted at another playable character, his statements meant things were done. No Lady, Trish, or Vergil for people who were hoping they would come to the game. (At least we?ll always have the Bloody Palace.) So, while we mourn and come to terms with that, let?s celebrate a game that, well, actually did give us all three of those people as playable characters. Let?s talk about Devil May Cry 4.

Originally, Devil May Cry 4 appeared on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. It was good! It introduced Nero to the series, giving Dante a heroic counterpart with a new moveset. But, while its original release did have characters like Lady and Trish appearing in the story, they weren?t playable. (Vergil didn?t even play a part right away!) As a brief overview, initially Devil May Cry 4 focuses entirely on Nero. He is a The Order of the Sword knight in Fortuna. He finds himself pitted against Dante when our iconic hero comes to town to fight and kill members of the Order. As Nero investigates Dante and the demon appearances on the island, he learns unsettling truths about the people who raised him and those he fights for.
