DmC: Devil May Cry reboot will get post-launch Vergil’s Downfall DLC

By Rick Marshall Published April 24, 2023

The upcoming reboot of the Devil May Cry game franchise is still a few months from hitting shelves, but Capcom has already announced one big piece of downloadable content that will be available after the debut of DmC: Devil May Cry.

Titled “Vergil’s Downfall,” the new DLC will let players take on the role of Vergil, Dante’s twin brother from the series. The DLC will cost 720 MS Points or $8.99 on the PlayStation Network and will reportedly contain several hours of new, unique gameplay with a storyline and special weapons, enemies, combos, and settings tailored to the character.

Given that Vergil has been one of the chief villains of the franchise up to this point, the DLC is likely to provide some answers for anyone wondering how he strayed so far from his brother’s heroic ways.

You can watch a trailer for “Vergil’s Downfall” below, with the DLC expected to be available just after the launch of DmC: Devil May Cry on January 15. Anyone who pre-orders the game at GameStop will receive a free code for the DLC.

How to stealth kill in Stalker 2

It won't take long before The Zone teaches you one very important tip for surviving in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which is to avoid fighting whenever possible. You can only carry so many resources, and prolonged fights can leave you with almost nothing left. And that's if you even manage to survive. There are some fights you just can't get around, though, but going in guns blazing isn't the best strategy. There's a handy stealth kill mechanic in Stalker 2, but you won't find it in any of the tutorials.
How to stealth kill in Stalker 2

You have the ability to stealth kill right off the bat, though it is not something the game will ever explain or tell you. It works how you would think, but is tricky enough to pull off that you might not think it's possible even if you try the right thing.

Most of us knew that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 would be one of the biggest games of the year, but it's so big that it's doing a lot to boost games sales across the U.S.

This information comes from Circana (formerly NPD Group), which publishes a monthly report on U.S. video game spending. According to analyst Mat Piscatella, spending on hardware, software, and accessories was up 10% in October compared to the same time last year, and the spike was "primarily" driven by the release of Black Ops 6. Non-mobile video game subscription service spending was also up by 16%.
