Hardcore Devil May Cry fans may not have cared for 2013's DmC: Devil May Cry, but all signs point towards the fifth main instalment in the series (predictably titled Devil May Cry 5) winning over fans both old and new. There's plenty of reverence for what came before, but at the same time there's a clear modernising approach to the series' hack n' slash formula.

Directed by Hideaki Itsuno, DMC 5 takes place several years after the events of the second game and will spotlight series lead Dante, as well as Nero. Perhaps one of the most surprising things about the game, however, is that it is so visually impressive. Character models are rendered in stunning detail, and it seems as though Capcom finally have the technology to depict DMC's stylish blend of violence to its maximum potential.

With a release date of March 8, there isn't all that long to wait either.
