Joining the list of high-profile titles like Tomb Raider, BioShock Infinite and South Park: The Game hopping into an early 2013 release window, DmC Devil May Cry too has been dated for January 15 next year. Along with this declaration, Capcom also revealed that a PC version of the game is currently in the works, and is planned for later in 2013.
No definite reason has been cited by Capcom for this delay, but a post on its official blog has pointed out that in the past, January has proved to be a good month for the developer as some of its hit titles such as RE 4, DmC 3: Special Edition, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, and RE: Revelations have been released in that month. There is still no word on exactly when Capcom plans to put out the PC version.
A post on the Capcom-Unity blog, reads, “The game is now set to release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on January 15th, 2013 in both North America and Europe. While I wish it was coming out tomorrow, this does contribute further evidence to the theory that January is a great month for Capcom. In the past, January has seen the release of such titles as Resident Evil 4, Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, and Resident Evil Revelations.”
Details about a new character from the game have also come to the fore. This girl is named Kat, and is a former runaway who joined The Order very early in her life. Kat is a medium as well as a gifted psychic who can see into Limbo, the demon realm. Having devoted her life to the Leader of The Order, she is also his right hand girl.
DmC Devil May Cry will be released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on January 15, 2013 in both North American and European territories.
