Devil May Cry 5 brings a demonic invasion to Red Grave City, where the roots of a “demon tree” begin spreading through the urban landscape. Nero, a young demon hunter, arrives with his partner Nico, but enters the fight without his right arm. The game sets its action against this escalating threat, pairing a contemporary city under siege with demons and larger-than-life enemies.
Nico is a weapons artist who designs mechanical Devil Breaker arms for Nero, giving him extra powers to use against foes such as the flying Empusa and the giant Goliath. Combat is built around three playable characters, each with a distinct stylish fighting approach. Boss encounters and a driving soundtrack add to the game’s focus on expressive, high-energy action rather than a single uniform combat style.
The listed formats include both single-player and co-op, alongside online co-op. Its central design remains the struggle to repel the invasion through differentiated combat and demon-hunting encounters.
