Capcom was out in full force at NYCC 2018 with more Devil May Cry 5 footage, this time focusing on Dante’s weaponry. We already know about his motorcycle/sword weapon (known as Cavaliere), as well as the Balrog gauntlets. But now Capcom has revealed the return of Cerberus, which was last seen in Devil May Cry 3. No longer restricted to just ice attacks, Cerberus can now use fire and lighting.
In addition, Dante’s newest weapon is a hat.
Seriously.
The Faust Hat is unique, in that it allows Dante to spend the red orbs that you’ve collected on attacks in order to gain an even greater amount of red orbs. This is an obvious answer to the in-game microtransactions, where you’ll be able to farm more red orbs by beating enemies to spend on unlocking things, in lieu of spending actual money to do the same thing.
No word on if Dante will do the moonwalk, sadly. Devil May Cry 5 releases March 8, 2019 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
