Devil May Cry 5 Sells Over 5 Million Units Worldwide

The official Japanese promotional account for the critically acclaimed Devil May Cry series has announced that Devil May Cry 5 has sold 5 million units worldwide. It has not been specified if Special Edition has been included in this total, so it’s safer to assume it’s not. Congratulations to Capcom for achieving such a significant milestone, and here’s hoping for a Devil May Cry 6 sooner rather than later.

Devil May Cry 5 returns players to the action as Dante, Nero, and V fight to keep the demonic threat at bay. The three characters each have their own flashy fighting style where they can juggle enemies and unleash extended combos that the series is known for.

In case you missed it, check out our review of Devil May Cry 5, where we give it a perfect score based on its smooth controls and stylish game design.

We also reviewed Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition on PlayStation 5 when it was initially released.

Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition uses the proprietary RE Engine, which has been enhanced to take advantage of more powerful hardware. In addition, this version of the game will feature ray tracing technology and enhance 3D audio and new modes, Turbo Mode and Legendary Dark Knight Mode. With Vergil now playable, players will play through Red Grave City and utilize his unique skillset.
