‘Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition’ Announced for Switch 2, Launches Digitally on June 23 [Trailer]
Nintendo Switch 2 owners will be getting their own version of Devil May Cry 5 later this month when Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition launches digitally on June 23. A physical edition of the game will follow on August 28. Players who grab the pre-order or buy the digital version of Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition by July 7 will be eligible for a discount.
First launching on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam way back in 2019, Devil May Cry 5 has become (so far) the best-selling entry in the series. The game will arrive on the Switch 2 in the feature-packed Devil Hunter Edition, with pre-orders available now. The game is essentially the equivalent of Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition, and comes packed with Vergil as a playable character, in addition to bonus content including costume colours, taunts, and battle tracks. Devil Hunter Edition sports a smooth 60 frames-per-second across both TV and handheld modes.
The threat of demonic power has returned to menace the world once again in Devil May Cry 5. The invasion begins when the seeds of a “demon tree” take root in Red Grave City. As this hellish incursion starts to take over the city, a young demon hunter Nero, arrives with his partner Nico in their “Devil May Cry” motorhome. Finding himself without the use of his right arm, Nero enlists Nico, a self-professed weapons artist, to design a variety of unique mechanical Devil Breaker arms to give him extra powers to take on evil demons such as the blood sucking flying Empusa and giant colossus enemy Goliath.
While not quite Snakes on a Plane or Red Eye, co-developers Liquid Static Studio and Snapping Turtle have something darker in mind with their upcoming job-sim horror game, Night Plane. Coming to Steam later this year, the game has you doing the expected work as a flight attendant, but with the added bonus of trying to find demons hiding amongst the passengers.
It’s 1999, and it’s your first day on the job. You must do the usual things as a flight attendant: welcoming passengers aboard, check tickets, and attend to their needs. However, shape-shifting entities may attempt to come aboard disguised as humans. So, your additional job in Night Plane is to question passengers, and find a way to remove any unauthorized non-human visitors from the plane.
That also leads to assisting passengers in unorthodox ways inside the plane, outside the plane, and in places not listed in your training manual. To make things even more complicated, you’ll need to make tough decisions with irreversible consequences. Naturally, the company will not be held accountable for any mistakes you make. You live with them.
Oh, and seeing as this is a plane, you may encounter some turbulence while in flight, along with power failures, lightning strikes and more. All of which, including your decisions, will lead to one of the multiple endings in Night Plane.
