Capcom’s looking to make both sorts of Devil May Cry fan happy in the coming months. They’ve got the re-envisioned DMC Devil May Cry update to their demon-hunting franchise releasing at some undetermined future date. That game sticks to the series’ guns-and-swords play stle, even if it looks radically different. And traditionalists will get the white-haired Dante they love in newly re-mastered form in the Devil May Cry HD Collection, which collects the first three games of the series’ original iteration. Capcom’s just announced that the up-rezzed collection will be hitting both Europe and North America on April 3rd, 2012. You’ve got to think that DMC will hit later next year with the HD collection as a lead-in, right?
It’s inadvertently been a Devil May Cry week here at Kotaku. First we get the new screens of the DmC reboot, then a spotlight on the series’ other half-demon bad-ass Vergil in an Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 video. Now comes a new trailer with snippets from the collection’s three games, all re-done in up-ressed shininess.
