Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition is set to bring some serious style to PS5 at launch. Initially, the enhanced re-release will only be available through the PlayStation Store, but Capcom has promised a physical version at a "later date".
And you know what? We're tempted to buy this thing for the box art alone.
Behold:

How good is that? If you didn't already know, Special Edition lets you play as Vergil, Dante's katana-wielding brother. It should be a blast.
Are you in for more Devil May Cry 5? Don't you dare drop that combo in the comments section below.

This box art is really good, but I prefer the first box art a little, and the banner puts a bad taste in my mouth, and not everybody can appreciate this, but this is still beautiful art.
I could do without the big banner up at the top. I like box arts clean.
I just managed to get a PS5 pre order in by some miracle. Time to add this one to the list.
Stupid sexy boxart
Finally got around to playing this game, and just not that impressed. The combat feels sluggish, and the environments are b-o-r-i-n-g. I used to love this series in high school...
Besides the ugly banner, that's one bit of classy box art.
I will most likely pick this up. I haven't played it yet on ps4 so might as well wait for it to release on ps5.
It looks fantastic, too bad the case will make it look ugly by default.
Nice, although I will never get to see it up close as I will start purchasing digital games with the fiver on a more frequent basis. Digital future here I come.
I never got around getting DMC5. Guess I’ll wait and get once I get a PS5.
For anyone curious Walmart has some PS5 pre orders available. I just got mine. Also target has been randomly adding some here and there so check there every so often
How come Sony hasn't censored it if it is sexy?
Get rid of that banner at the top and you'd have an utterly fantastic box art.
Annoying it's not going to be a free upgrade for owners of the PS4 version. Or even with a $10 dlc upgrade path
I wonder if Sony will double down on their censoring for next gen? That lens flared butt was stupid.
No free PS5 upgrade and now the physical is delayed?
Seems like a shameless straight-up digital cash grab...
Mind you, I'm not saying the PS5 port is bad, just super tacky.
No words... simply no words.
The banner at the top is awful, but the art itself is beautiful. Wish the original had something like this.
Will this version have everything unlocked or will it still have all this orb microtransactions nonsense? I didn't buy the game the first time round mainly cause of the stupid currency stuff and it would probably be the deciding factor here too.
@Rhaoulos Nah,because they are dudes.
I mean, why would you need those quotes anyway? The box art is excellent.
@HotGoomba I know right it makes it look cheap. We all know its a good game why make it look cheap. The same goes for bluray movies 4 star rating by some these obscure sites.
Nice artwork shame about the horrible white banner at the top.
@Ear_wiG Then play it on the PS5 and activate turbo mode.
Nah, original boxart looked better. Haven't played it yet though so definitely interested in picking up the PS5 version eventually.
Really enjoyed this first time around but having finished it already I will only go back if it's price point is around £30 as hopefully I will have enough new games to play.
Is Dante played by Tom cruise in this game?
Does anyone else think the white banner at the top of the PS5 games is deliberately hideous so as to force people who like cohesive graphic design to buy games digitally?
PS. If it isn't already clear I am joking.
It looks like a 1980s poster movie.it looks good.word up son
@DigiTM yeah that would be great for PS4 owners especially if they are going to get a ps5 at a later date 👍
@Old-Red - There is no need whatsoever to buy orbs as just playing the game will give far more than you'll ever need. The game economy isn't gimped in any way to encourage buying them.
I honestly have no idea why they even sell them beside parting absolute morons from their money. They added them in DMC4 SE as well but actually increased the amount you earn compared to vanilla DMC4. They're just there for the sake of being there I guess.
This box art is the epitome of "Graphic Design is my passion"
@oldschool1987 Surely after TLOU2 sex scene they can't censor stuff anymore
@nookie_egg you'd think! 😂 I remember thinking it was hypocritical at the time when I saw Abby getting plowed.
I prefer the old art, it was less busy and more elegant.
I'm sorry but this doesn't look good. I mean, the artwork is really nice, but it seems so lazily thrown together. A cool idea would've been to do the same as the deluxe edition but have vergil in the center with a smug look on his face. Like a "I'm back b****s" look, while Dante and nero are on the sides staring angrily at him
@Ear_wiG then play something else
@Nepp67 Hadn’t seen they were doing this, I just might!
@ronb44 That certainly would've been more fitting cause of the trailer.
