The Devil May Cry franchise is one of the most popular action-packed hack-and-slash series in the gaming world, and the fifth entry in the lineup lives up to the name. Devil May Cry 5 was released in 2019, and it didn’t take long for the game to quickly become a fan favorite thanks to its stunning visuals and fast-paced action powered by the RE Engine. Even after almost six years, new players and longtime fans continue to come for more.
