a leading
worldwide
developer
and
publisher of

May Cry® 4,

will hit
retail

coming
February for

computer
entertainment

The highly
anticipated
Devil May
Cry 4
immerses
gamers in a
gothic
supernatural
world, where
a new
protagonist
clashes with
series
mainstay
Dante. As
new leading
man Nero
players will
be able to
unleash
incredibly
powerful and
stylish
attacks and
non-stop
combos using
a
combination
of the Devil
Bringer arm
and the
Exceed
system, both
of which are
new gameplay
mechanics
for the
series. Fans
of Dante
won’t be
disappointed
as he too
will be
playable
during the
course of
the game.
Set in the
costal city
of Fortuna,
the game’s
action
begins when
Dante bursts
in on a
ceremony
being
conducted by
the Order of
the Sword,
an ancient
sect based
in the
coastal city
of Fortuna,
which
worships
Sparda the
devil
warrior who
saved
mankind. As
Dante begins
indiscriminately
slaughtering
sect members
Nero fears
for the
safety of
his
childhood
friend Kyrie
and
confronts
Dante in
order to
protect her.
With players
taking
control of
Nero, the
immense
power of the
Devil
Bringer
begins to be
revealed as
a fierce
confrontation
against
Dante
ensues.
After an
intense
struggle
Dante
decides to
leave this
particular
fight for
another day
and makes
good his
escape.
Chasing
after him
Nero is
suddenly
stopped in
his tracks
as
mysterious
portals
begin
appearing
throughout
Fortuna
spewing
forth
ghastly
demons. What
is the
reason for
this demonic
invasion, is
Dante
responsible?
Devil May
Cry 4 is an
epic story
where the
lines
between good
and evil are
constantly
blurred.
Taking full
advantage of
the advanced
graphical
and
processing
power of the
next-gen
systems it
draws gamers
into the
rich and
highly
detailed
world of
Fortuna and
its
surrounds
