Devil May Cry 5: 8 Leaked Details You Need To Know

6. Environment Factors Into Combat More Than Ever Before

DMC has often flirted with environmental interactions in the past - a pole spin here, a wall run-backflip there - but never has it been fully integrated into our approach to combat overall.

No more, as DMC 5's environments are "supposed to compliment the combat system", bringing about visuals akin to Batman: Arkham Knight, where nearby obstacles or pieces of debris can become part of the fight whenever you like.

Whether these will be one-time uses with canned animations or things you actively wield for periods of time remains to be seen, but a more "complete" feeling environment is something we've seen the series tease over the years, and it's overdue some proper gameplay implementation.
