Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition is an action-adventure game from Capcom, released for Nintendo Switch on February 20, 2020. It revisits an earlier chapter in Dante’s life, before the opening of his demon-hunting business.

When Vergil raises the demonic tower Temen-ni-gru in pursuit of power, Dante is drawn into a conflict with his twin brother. The journey up the tower brings demon battles, imposing bosses, and encounters with Lady and the secretive Arkham.

A rivalry at the center

The story focuses on the tension between Dante and Vergil, whose opposing goals drive the events surrounding Temen-ni-gru. With betrayals, shifting motives, and family ties shaping the conflict, the game provides background for major elements of the Devil May Cry series.

Combat built for style

Dante fights with melee weapons and firearms, earning higher style rankings by varying attacks, evading danger, and sustaining elaborate combos. Six combat styles—Trickster, Swordmaster, Gunslinger, Royalguard, Quicksilver, and Doppelganger—provide different abilities and approaches. The Nintendo Switch version allows weapon and style changes during combat, supporting rapid adjustments and extended attack chains.

Modes and progression

Alongside Dante’s campaign, Vergil is playable with his own moveset and perspective on the events. Bloody Palace offers a survival challenge against waves of enemies. As the game progresses, red orbs can be spent on skills and upgrades, while learning enemy behavior, aerial attacks, dodges, and parries helps meet tougher encounters.
