'''''DmC: Devil May Cry''''' is a [[Beat'Em Up]] [[Action Game]] developed by Ninja Theory, notably known for ''[[Heavenly Sword]]'' and ''[[Enslaved: Odyssey to the West]]''. At first announced as a [[Continuity Reboot]] to the ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' series, it became a prequel, [[Flip-Flop of God|and now]] it is an [[Alternate Continuity]] in a parallel universe… [http://www.siliconera.com/2011/10/31/dmc-devil-may-cry-takes-place-in-a-parallel-world-with-a-different-dante/ or something].

''DmC'' should be considered as an entirely different game from the original series. Along with Dante's obvious aesthetic changes which drew a... [[Ruined FOREVER|rather lukewarm]] reaction from the fanbase, there is a further emphasis on platforming and aerial combos; with the protagonist alternating between the real, gloomy-looking world and a distorted parallel world with extremely vivid colors where [[Everything Trying to Kill You|the city itself tries to kill him.]]  Dante can switch between demonic and angelic powers, use several weapons like a sword, an [[An Axe to Grind|axe]] or a [[Sinister Scythe|scythe]], and he can temporarily freeze time to kick more ass.

''DmC'' was released in the US and Europe on January 15th, 2013 for Xbox 360 and [[PS3]], and was released on PC later that year.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Alternate Continuity]] / [[Continuity Reboot]]: To the ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' series. [[Flip-Flop of God|It's unclear which it is actually.]]
** It was announced as the latter, but later changed to the former. Likely due to the ''extremely'' negative feedback the announcement recieved.
** As of late, it's being pushed as a "Reboot-Prequel."
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Dante's sword can transform into an axe called Arbiter in Devil mode.
* [[Bedlam House]]: Dante is seen in one in the very first trailer.
* [[Bright Is Not Good]]: The real world is apparently gloom and somber while the demon world has extremely vivid colors.
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: The E3 2012 trailer and the Poison boss fight apply the f-bomb pretty liberally.
* [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]: In Limbo, the demonic dimension, the environment ''literally'' tries to kill you.
* [[Eye Scream]]: In one demo, Dante opens a path by grabbing an organic "camera" with his [[Whip Sword]] and kicking it to a wall. All with an appropriate juicy sound. [[Squick|Ew]].
* [[Fan Service]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d2mdIgxruw&list=UUW7h-1mymnJ96akzjrmiIgA&index=10&feature=plcp A trailer] features Dante ''totally naked,'' and his lower regions are covered by [[Scenery Censor|random items,]] including pizza in midair.
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]
* [[Hero with Bad Publicity]]: The latest trailer sees a newscast broadcasting of Dante's stunts, labeling it as "terrorism". In truth it just him battling in the parallel world and any damage cause by the environment is carried over to the real world with none of the humans able to see the monsters he fights. Instead thinking that Dante doing it intentionally.
* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: Dante [http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1f39m8qXD1qg3cy0o1_1280.png looks A LOT like] his voice actor [http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1944367360/nm2960352 Tim Phillipps].
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: The correct title of the game is ''DmC'' with a lower case m.
* [[I See Dead People]]: Kind of; Dante's sidekick Kat can ''see'' into Limbo, but unlike Dante, cannot physically interact with it.
* [[Mirror World]]: Limbo; an alternate and very colorful, demon-infested version of Dante's world.
* [[Real Is Brown]]: The real world is shown like this, by contrast with the [[Bright Is Not Good|disturbingly colourful demon world]].
* [[Shout-Out]]: [http://www.jeuxvideo.com/videos-editeurs/0003/00036722/dmc-devil-may-cry-playstation-3-ps3-trailer-tgs-2011-version-director-s-cut-00035610.htm One trailer] shows [[They Live!|commercial signs reading "Consume, submit, obey"]] as the world shifts to Limbo.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WK1HJxsTxY&list=UUDy9spkUsrtu9SHaR8VNwUQ The first trailer from 2012] shows Dante trash-talking a demon, taking a [http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_280892_thumb_wide940.jpg slightly]{{Dead link}} [http://image.gamespotcdn.net/gamespot/images/bigboxshots/7/920607_61587_front.jpg familiar pose]{{Dead link}}.
** The pose Dante takes while using a charged shot with Ebony and Ivory looks a lot like [http://devilmaycry.wikia.com/wiki/Dante_(DmC)#Trivia that of another Alternate Universe Dante.]
** While fighting the giant larva Poison, Dante will sometimes hit her with Nero's signature two-legged kick to incapacitate her.
** In a recent gameplay video, a car has a license plate that says "DMC5".
* [[Sinister Scythe]]: His sword transforms into a scythe called Osiris.
** Somewhat subverted for the "sinister" part since it is the weapon you use in Angel mode.
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: The impression the first trailer gives off, though [[Word of God]] says [http://pt-br.twitch.tv/capcomunity/b/320560252 he's kicked the habit.]
* [[Stance System]]: The Style system of ''[[Devil May Cry]] 3'' and ''4'' was replaced by a system that allows you to activate an Angel or Devil mode by holding the triggers, changing the main weapon you use and the moves you can do.
