Developer Ninja Theory has said that the Dante seen in upcoming hack-‘em-up DmC: Devil May Cry is not the same wise-cracking, silver-haired demon slayer we’ve become acquainted with in past titles.
The studio told Dengeki PlayStation (via Siliconera) that DmC actually takes place in a parallel dimension to previous entries in Capcom’s celebrated stylish actioner – after all, Dante is now half demon, half angel in the Ninja Theory title.
However, the old school Dante we’ve come to know and love still exists in the regular series as well as Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
DmC: Devil May Cry is due out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012.
