Devil May Cry 5's first year anniversary takes place on 8th March 2020, and there’s set to be a surprise in store to coincide.
We absolutely loved this action-adventure piece of art released by Capcom last year. Built on the RE Engine, the game just screams quality and polish, which is made abundantly clear in the first hour of gameplay.
In celebration of the game's first birthday, we share some of our insights into Devil May Cry 5, take a look at how it was received by critics, and what to expect from Capcom for the anniversary.
Devil May Cry 5 anniversary
Capcom has not shared specific details about their DMC 5 one-year anniversary plans. However, the developer is "planning a little something" for all that have supported the game.
Players have also participated too. The developer asked fans to send out a tweet with #DMC5Anniversary so they could be included in the celebration, with the cut-off point on 1st March.
Hey everybody! In celebration of DMC5’s first anniversary we’re planning a little something to thank all of you who supported us. Tweet with the hashtag #DMC5Anniversary to share your thoughts and we’ll include your handle in the celebration. ^_~

Devil May Cry 5 - What you need to know
Devil May Cry 5 features three playable characters. Returning favourites include Dante and Nero, accompanied by a new character V. The game oozes style as you hack your way through hordes of demons and daunting boss fights.
With its stylish presentation and action-packed gameplay, Devil May Cry 5 won the Best Action Game category at The Game Awards 2019. Further accolades include Best Visual Design at the 2019 Golden Joystick Awards and Award of Excellence at the Japan Game Awards.
Over on Metacritic, the game has an average critic score of 88 on PS4, 87 on Xbox One and 89 on PC. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that DMC 5 is the best-selling entry in the storied franchise to date. Capcom revealed that DMC 5 sold over 3.1 million units earlier this year.
The game is filled to the brim with excellent content and amazingly satisfying gameplay. It should take the average player roughly 15 hours to beat and dozens more to unlock all its contents. There's also a New Game Plus mode to dive into, making another playthrough very appealing. In short, DMC 5 is a must-play for franchise fans and newcomers alike.
Devil May Cry 5 is available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
