10 Video Game Plot Points Everybody Gets Wrong

10. Nero's Real Identity - Devil May Cry 4

For Devil May Cry 4, Capcom switched things up by introducing a new demon hunter called Nero. Although the player takes control of the original protagonist, Dante, in seven missions, Nero is the top dog this time around.

Because Nero and Dante look alike, rumours quickly circulated that both characters were related in some way. Were they brothers? Was Dante a daddy? Or was Nero's uncanny resemblance to the wise-cracking, devil hunter a mere coincidence? Even though the speculation was boundless, Devil May Cry 4 never offered a straight answer.

Fortunately, the whole situation was cleared seven years later when the remaster was released.

Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition opens two decades earlier, with Vergil visiting the town of Fortuna. While building intel on The Order of the Sword, Dante's brooding sibling impregnated an unnamed woman. Upon leaving the town, Nero's Devil Trigger form appears in Vergil's shadow, indicating the two are father and son.

If you need further validation, the pair's connection was irrefutably confirmed in the book, Devil May Cry: 3142 Graphical Arts, which was released two years before DMC4's remaster.
