Today during a PAX West 2018 panel, Capcom made a slew of Devil May Cry 5 announcements, as well as released a slab of new gameplay footage.

First, the announcements. The biggest announcement of the panel was that Devil May Cry 5 will contain a photo mode. But not only will it contain a photo mode, it will also contain a gallery mode. But not only will it contain a gallery and photo mode, it will also come packing a training mode as well. Or in other words, it will have all of the type of extra features that players love.

Unfortunately, Capcom didn't provide any further details on a single one of these modes, however, it did say said details will arrive soon, before launch.

In addition to a dump of mode confirmations, new gameplay footage was shown off. Highlighting said footage was the showcase of seven of the game's eight "Devil Breakers," which are arms that protagonist Nero rocks as extension weapons. These seven Devil Breakers included: Helter Skelter, Rawhide, Overture, Punch Line, Tomboy, Ragtime, and Gerbera.

Below, you can check out the entire panel for yourself, which includes the new gameplay footage (courtesy of Gematsu). The following time stamps of interest are also provided:

- 16:53 to 20:03 – Goliath boss battle

- 21:16 to 21:50 – Gallery Mode showcase

- 24:40 to 36:24 – Devil Breakers showcase

Devil May Cry 5 is in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. At the moment, barring any delay, it will release worldwide on March 8, 2019.

Years have passed since the legions of hell have set foot in this world, but now a new demonic invasion has begun, and humanity's last hope will rest in the hands of three lone demon hunters, each offering a radically different play style. United by fate and a thirst for vengeance, these demon hunters will have to face their demons in the hope to survive.

Key Features

  • Legendary action series returns – The 16 million unit selling series is back with original Director Hideaki Itsuno at the helm of development.

  • A battle of good and evil – A demonic invasion begins with the seeds of a "demon tree" taking root in Red Grave City. This hellish incursion attracts the attention of the young demon hunter, Nero, an ally of Dante who now finds himself without his demonic arm, the source of much of his power. The supernatural family drama also continues as Dante, the Son of Sparda, seeks revenge for his brother's corruption and mother's murder.

  • High octane stylized action – Featuring three playable characters each with a radically different stylish combat play style as they take on the city overrun with demons.

  • Groundbreaking graphics – Developed with Capcom's in-house proprietary RE engine, the series continues to achieve new heights in fidelity with graphics that utilize photorealistic character designs and stunning lighting and environmental effects.

  • Take down the demonic invasion – Battle against epic bosses in adrenaline fueled fights across the over-run Red Grave City.

  • Demon hunter – Nero, one of the series main protagonists and a young demon hunter who has the blood of Sparda, heads to Red Grave City to face the hellish onslaught of demons, with weapons craftswoman and new partner-in-crime, Nico.
