The upcoming Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition is hitting the stores in Japan on 18 June, complete with a standard edition and a limited edition set.
The limited edition set of the Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition comes in a pizza box, modeled after the one that Dante, Trish and Lady have in their office. This makes perfect sense since everyone familiar with the DMC series knows Dante is an avid lover.
Aside from that, included in the JPN7,398 limited edition set of the Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition are the sountrack CD, an 85-page full-color production notebook, three extra game covers, a costume code each for Lady and Trish, and 300,000 red orbs. The actual contents of the package could be seen here.
There is a bit of a bad news. US players only get a digital release of the Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition on an unconfirmed date. Ouch. But they can always import it, if they can manage to find someone who can help them get it in Japan.
The new DMC4 allows players to use Vergil, Lady, and Trish as playable characters with their own stories and scenarios.
Vergil will use three weapons: Yamato, the Beowulf gauntlets, and the Force Edge. He also has Concentration which makes his attacks more powerful. Vergil is available in all game missions.
Meanwhile, human demon hunter Lady uses the Kalina-Ann long-range weapon and is available in DMC4 main protagonist Nero's missions. Humanoid demon and lightning user Trish has her Sparda sword and is available in Dante's missions.
Depending on how the Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition does in the market, Capcom may decide to expand the series later on. Series producer Hideaki Itsuno reportedly has confirmed that Capcom certainly thinks that the Devil May Cry series might be expanded and stated that the new game hasn't been announced. Some take it as a confirmation that a new DMC game is in the works.
Pizza box or not, the upcoming Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition is expected to be a hit among fans, and might even get new ones with its expanded gameplay.
