Capcom has published a launch trailer for Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition and announced the title for Nintendo Switch 2.
The game’s pedigree is well established: Devil May Cry 5 was developed by Capcom under director Hideaki Itsuno and first released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on March 8, 2019.
The franchise entry was built using Capcom’s in-house RE Engine and introduced a modern, high-fidelity take on the series’ signature stylized action.
In its promotional overview, Capcom emphasized that director Hideaki Itsuno and the core development team returned to deliver an intense, technically advanced action experience.
Capcom described the release as a continuation of the series’ blend of over-the-top combat and original character design, framed by photorealistic visuals and advanced lighting made possible by the RE Engine.
The Devil Hunter Edition overview reiterates core gameplay and story elements familiar to fans.
Players again face a demonic incursion centered on Red Grave City, where a “demon tree” has begun to take root.
Nero returns as a principal playable character and arrives accompanied by Nico; after suffering the loss of his right arm, Nero relies on Nico’s custom mechanical “Devil Breaker” prosthetics to expand his combat options.
The game’s roster includes Nero, the series’ iconic protagonist Dante, and the new playable character V, each offering distinct combat styles.
Capcom’s overview also highlights notable enemy types from the campaign, including flying Empusa and large colossus enemies such as Goliath, and promises boss encounters scored to a heavy soundtrack.
Key technical and gameplay points in the trailer and overview include: high-octane stylized action across multiple playable characters, RE Engine-powered graphics and lighting, and a focus on set-piece boss fights within the overrun urban environments of Red Grave City.
Capcom released the launch trailer through its official channels; the company’s announcement indicates the title is available on Nintendo Switch 2 as of the trailer’s publication.
Players can watch the trailer on Capcom’s platforms and check Nintendo’s storefronts, including the eShop and official Nintendo communications such as Nintendo Direct, for regional availability and any additional release details.
