So, Capcom has been adamant about the fact that DMC is a re-imagining of their Devil May Cry mythos. That means Dante looks different, drops the F-bomb a whole lot more and adventures through a different landscape, even if the game plays very similarly to the titles of the past

When I asked this of Capcom producer Motohide Eshiro, he said keeping the pistolsâ names Ebony and Ivory and giving nomenclature to other weapons in DMC acts a touchstone to the Devil May Cry games that came before. Sure, theyâre changing a lot of things, he continued, but if they changed decisions like that, then they might as well call the game something else entirely. Danteâs sword may be called Rebellion but Capcomâs not going to reject everything about the DMCs of the past.
