Devil May Cry 5 will feature a nod to another famous Capcom series, Mega Man, with one of Nero’s Devil Breakers modeled after Mega Man’s Mega Buster weapon.<\/b>
\nCapcom recently revealed some new details about the upcoming Devil May Cry 5, which included an explanation of Nero\u2019s weapons, the Devil Breakers. One of the new weapon modifications available for the Devil Breakers in Devil May Cry 5 involves a hero from another famous series produced by the publisher: Mega Man.
In a video posted on the official Xbox YouTube channel, Devil May Cry 5 producer Matt Walker and director Hideaki Itsuno showcased the game\u2019s upcoming \u201cVoid Mode\u201d in which players will be able to practice combos with different weapons and customization options. The weapons of focus throughout the video is Nero\u2019s assortment of Devil Breakers \u2013 one of which is Mega Man\u2019s Mega Buster.
Nero\u2019s Devil Breakers are essentially modifiable cybernetic arms. Currently, a total of eight have been revealed to the public, four of which (including the Mega Buster) will only be available through purchasing the deluxe edition of the game. The video goes on further to show that while using the Mega Buster, Nero adopts Mega Man\u2019s trademark animations and transitions, including a very similar jump, run, evade and even an oddly familiar death animation.
It is always fun to see publishers and developers acknowledge their other successful works in a particular game regardless of whether the reference is overt or not. It will also be interesting to see what sort of other additions related to this crossover the developers decide to add in the game, especially with over-the-top tone the Devil May Cry series is known for. If all the game\u2019s available trailers are anything to go by \u2013 including the one featuring the weapon that seems to be an odd combination of a motorcycle and a chainsaw \u2013 the upcoming game will not be veering far from this established theme.
At the very least, if players don\u2019t like the Mega Man addition, they\u2019ll have seven other Devil Busters to choose from.
Devil May Cry 5 is set to be released on May 8,2019 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.<\/p>\n
