Curious about Capcom's reboot of Devil May Cry? Impatient to find out if it lives up to the legacy of the original games, and if British studio Ninja Theory has reinvented the graceful melee combat classic? You won't have long to wait, as Capcom has confirmed that a playable demo will be available for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 from November 21st.
The demo will feature two stages from the game - one normal mission and a boss fight. Once you've polished those off, you'll be able to replay them using the game's challenging Son of Sparda difficulty level, designed to sort the die-hards from the softies.
Ninja Theory, best known for the award winning Enslaved as well as PS3 launch exclusive Heavenly Sword, has been developing the game in conjunction with Capcom in Japan. Everyone who has played it has come away raving. "Exciting, hyper-kinetic, visually arresting" raved Eurogamer after spending time on the demo levels at E3 earlier this year.
Devil May Cry, or DmC as it's been rebranded by trendy marketing people, is out on January 15th next year. Perfect timing for spending that Christmas money!
