Capcom’s Devil May Cry series finally returns to consoles today. But what if you truly want to slay demons as Nero? This Devil May Cry VR arcade app has you sorted… if you make the trip to Japan.
Rather than a full VR game, this tie-in experience is actually a collaboration with Circle of Saviors. Developed by Five for, Saviors is a wave-based melee combat game. You’ve probably seen the viral video of one player kicking ass in it during TGS a few years ago. Cartoonish beasts charge at you and you beat them back with swords.
For the Devil May Cry 5 collaboration, you wield a sword and gun used by Nero in the game. Other than that it’s pretty much exactly the same game. See it in action in the trailer above.
Sadly you can’t try the experience in the west. It is showing at Capcom’s Plaza in Hiroshima, Japan. Capcom previously collaborated with Five for on a similar tie in for the Monster Hunter series.
It’s about also close to Devil May Cry VR as we’re going to get right now. We’d love to be run around as Dante executing crazy combos in VR, but something tells us that would be more than a little tiring.
Earlier this week we also reported that Five for was opening a VR Ninja Dojo in Japan. You get to dress up as an assassin and train in the art of swinging a sword around like a maniac before putting on an HTC Vive.
