Capcom hasn’t said much about Devil May Cry 5 since its announcement at E3, preferring instead to focus on the sooner-releasing Resident Evil 2, but it seems like we won’t have to wait too much longer for hands-on impressions.
Devil May Cry series producer Hideaki Itsuno revealed on Twitter that they’ve finished the demo for Gamescom, showing that the title will be playable for the first time next week in Germany. The tweet comes with an off-screen shot of DMC5’s vibrant demo splash screen.

We learned a scant few details about the game a few weeks ago, but the Gamescom appearance will be the first time people can really get a feel for the newest title in the lauded action series. In the meantime, check out the E3 trailer for the game to get a feel for the tone and action.
Devil May Cry 5 is set for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC with an intended target release of this financial year, so before March. Gamescom will take place in Cologne, Germany starting August 21.
