Dante returns in Devil May Cry® 3 Special Edition with all new stylish ways to eradicate demons. In this hellish prequel to the genre-defining hit, Dante battles his twin brother Vergil to prevent the dark resurrection of their father’s demonic power. Dante tears through his enemies with deadly styles, a new arsenal of demonic weaponry, and the craziest combos, proving DMC3 to be the quintessential action game of the series and the genre.

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening is a 2005 action-adventure game developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation 2.

The game introduces combat mechanics with an emphasis on combos and fast-paced action. The story is told primarily in cutscenes using the game's engine, with several pre-rendered full motion videos.
