About
The series centers on Dante, a demon hunter who thwarts various demonic invasions of Earth. Known for its fast-paced, stylish combat, the franchise began in 2001 with the release of the original Devil May Cry on the PlayStation 2.
Created by Hideki Kamiya and developed by Capcom, the franchise originated from an early development build of Resident Evil 4 that was deemed too action-oriented for the survival horror series. This led to the creation of an entirely new intellectual property.
Subsequent entries expanded the gameplay mechanics and narrative. Devil May Cry 2 introduced open environments and a second playable character, Lucia. Devil May Cry 3 served as a prequel, introducing a style-selection system that allowed players to prioritize different fighting techniques.
