Devil May Cry, the first of many character action games, is coming to Nintendo Switch. This was announced with a tweet by the Devil May Cry Twitter account.

Interestingly, only the first game is coming to the portable console, for now at least. The latest release of the game is a three-in-one pack, the Devil May Cry HD Collection, which includes DMC 1,2 and 3.
DMC 1 still holds up today, but this is way before Dante becomes his playful, cocky self and the level design still has influences from the Resident Evil games of the era. If this is the first of many Switch ports, or a ploy to get Dante into Smash Bros., is anyone’s guess.
No exact release date was given but expect to see Devil May Cry on Switch this summer, late June the earliest.
