One of the games that has helped cement Capcom and the renaissance it is going through currently, Devil May Cry 5 is pure S-class fun all the way to the bank.

This year saw Nero given an upgrade when his trusty sword-arm was ripped away from him, as he began wielding Devil Breaker arms that ramped the stylish meter up to ludicrous new levels. Action so intense, that it can only be replicated in glorious painted polystone. Which of course has a price tag attached to it that is currently causing my wallet to experience what it feels like to be devil triggered.

There’s a great story to be told across the Devil May Cry games, but the actual timeline doesn’t match up very coherently between games. One of the biggest plot holes in the chronology? The abysmal Devil May Cry 2, which kind of doesn’t make sense in the big picture of the franchise.

While Capcom isn’t ready to spill the beans just yet on what Nero has been up to since the days of Devil May Cry 4, game director Hideaki Itsuno did reveal a few tasty information nuggets during a media showcase event in South Korea.

Capcom wants to raise the bar with Devil May Cry 5 next year though, as it emphasises a game that it calls a bridge to the uncanny valley of action. To do just that however, the publisher and developer is looking to push what’s possible with digital acting to a whole new level of expressiveness.

The last couple of weeks have seen plenty of leaks pointing towards a fifth chapter in the series finally arriving and if you were looking for more fuel for the fire, well here you go: Discovered by @MysticDance over on Twitter, was a website that happens to be locked to Capcom’s servers. A website by the name of…Devilmaycry5.com.

Devil May Cry 5 is looking increasingly likely, as new website registrations for Capcom's famed demon-slaying series have gone live just before E3. CONVENIENT!

Whatever happened to Devil May Cry though? After a fantastic fourth core game (the best in the series, come at me bros) and an amazing reimagining from western developer Ninja Theory (again, come at me baby-bros who don’t appreciate genius), Devil May Cry entered the wildlands of an uncertain future. Dante and his crew were nowhere to be seen, as the years ticked by and a new generation of consoles were born. Clearly, the time for a new Devil May Cry is now. Good timing too then, as it appears that a ton of details on the next game have leaked.
