Capcom has announced that it has three new titles in the works – Devil May Cry: DmC, Asura’s Wrath, and Dead Rising 2: Case West.
DmC
The next instalment of the multi-million selling Devil May Cry franchise, DmC, sees Capcom collaborating with UK based Ninja Theory (Heavenly Sword, Enslaved) to explore new frontiers for the series. Creative direction for the title will be undertaken by Ninja Theory’s Tameem Antoniades and overseen by Hedeaki Itsuno, who has worked on all previous titles in the series. DmC is in development for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Set against a contemporary backdrop, DmC will depict a duplicitous world where nothing is ever as it seems and the line between good and evil is constantly blurred. Spurred into action by the promises of a trusted relation, Dante bursts into this world intent on revenge at any cost.
DmC will retain the series’ signature mix of sword and gunplay but add additional weapons, all new powers and a revitalised gameplay system as players encounter the game’s devilish mix of enemies and navigate the rich, interactive environment.
Asura’s Wrath
Asura’s Wrath, a brand new intellectual property inspired by Asian mythology and fused with science fiction. Once a revered deity, Asura was betrayed by his fellow gods and stripped of all his powers.
Consumed by anger at the injustice he has suffered, and swearing vengeance, Asura discovers he can use this fury to his advantage and turn it against his enemies. By channeling his inner rage, Asura is now able to unleash devastating attacks and wreak havoc as he battles against the deities who have wronged him and their earthly forces.
Asura’s Wrath will be appearing on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Dead Rising 2: Case West
Dead Rising 2: Case West will extend the Dead Rising 2 experience with the return of a familiar face. Available exclusively on Xbox LIVE online entertainment system following the release of Dead Rising 2, Dead Rising 2: Case West will see Frank West team up with Chuck Greene for some serious co-op action.
In co-op mode, Xbox LIVE Gold members will see the two protagonists delve deeper into the reasons behind the Fortune City outbreak and provide further links to the Willamette incident.
