About

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening - Special Edition is a re-release of Devil May Cry 3 with gameplay changes and additional content. Among them, there is the possibility to play as Vergil on a separate save file.

What players say

A brutally hard, stylish character-action high point famous for its combo-driven, on-the-fly style-switching combat; the Special Edition softened the infamous difficulty spike. Loved as one of the best action games ever once it clicks.
