10 Hidden Video Game Characters You Weren’t Supposed To See

Devil May Cry 4 brought some excellent advancements to the gameplay and the story of the series by introducing us to new playable character Nero.

Now, I’m by no means saying that Dante’s appearance in the game is some kind of wild mistake. Not only is he a huge part of why Nero gets introduced to the DMC universe but he’s also one of the game’s playable characters. However, there is a particular moment Dante shows up in that most players don’t realise.

During the game’s introduction we have a montage of Nero fighting demons and, in a particular shot, if you slow the footage right down or pause it on just the right frame you can see Dante watching Nero strut his stuff. This implies that Dante knew about Nero before encountering him face-to-face and, specifically knows about his demon arm in advance. It probably explains why he acts so nonchalantly about it when the two face off in the game’s opening.

Creepy Uncle Dante is looking out for you Nero, whether players realise it or not. Either that or he’s there to rank your style with score-cards so make sure you’re not using the same combo over and over again, eh?
