Last month, the mobile RPG Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2 held a collaboration with the Bayonetta series and, following this, Sega Games has announced that there will be a collaboration for Devil May Cry 5.
The collaboration will begin on March 14, and a special collaboration website has been launched for it.
The characters from DMC5 will be featured in this collaboration, including the Young Devil Hunter Nero, the World-Famous Dante, and the mysterious “V.” There will be an original story, with the complete supervision of Capcom.
To celebrate the collaboration with DMC5, there will be a Twitter/Facebook campaign and countdown login bonus.
Characters
Nero (The Young Devil Hunter)
The young Devil Hunter operation out of the mobile Devil May Cry.
Having lost his demonic arm (the Devil Bringer) before the events of the game, he stands against the invading demonic forces with a new power provided by Nico.
Dante (The Strongest Demon Slayer)
The proprietor of Devil May Cry, and a Devil Hunter of legendary proportions. Dante is a half-human, half-demon hybrid, born to a human woman Eva and the demon who save the human world, Sparda. He overcame battle after arduous battle in his past, and currently serves as a barrier to any attempt by demons to invade his world. Dante greets any and all challengers with a signature smile on his face. At the behest of a client, Dante humps back into the fray against demonic forces.
V (The Mysterious One)
Book and cane in hand, this slender man appears covered in impressive tattoos. Before chaos fell upon Red Grave City, he sought out Dante through the information broker Morrison and tasked him to subdue a certain demon. V lacks the power to fight himself, instead relying on three demon familiars to take the offensive in battle.
