Capcom has recently announced re-mastered editions of the "Devil May Cry" series' first three games. The HD collection will be released on new platforms, specifically, on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4, with the release date set on March 13 next year for $29.99 in both digital and physical copies.
The same HD collection containing "Devil May Cry" 1, 2 and 3 was released by Capcom previously on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012. Not much details have been announced by the company regarding the upcoming editions, but it will presumably run at 60 frames per second (fps) and 4k screens. The Japanese game company has released screenshots depicting how the games will look graphically, which turns out to be similar to the previous PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release.
There are speculations suggesting that the "Devil May Cry" HD collection comes as a teaser or a precursor for the fifth game in the series which is long rumored by fans of the franchise to be in the making. Although the clamor for "Devil May Cry" 5 is very widespread, there has been no official statements from Capcom yet on the existence of such.
The "Devil May Cry" video game series is a world-renowned hack and slash adventure game developed by Capcom and created by Hideki Kamiya. It is widely considered as a video game classic with its first installation released in 2001 for PlayStation 2. The player takes on the role of Dante, a demon hunter who is committed to exterminate other evil demons and supernatural forces, who is ironically the half-demon, half-human son of an evil creature named Sparda, who serves as the game's protagonist.
The game's plot is very loosely based on the Italian poem "The Divine Comedy," making use of some similar characters, like Dante himself, Virgil and Trish, and the frequent use of allusions. The first installment of the series was originally cast as "Resident Evil 4" but was eventually made into its own franchise, after the project cut its ties with "Resident Evil."
