During tonight's event at the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom announced a new Devil May Cry title is in development. The game was listed as just "DMC" on the presentation screen and is considered a reboot for the series.

The game is being developed by Capcom USA in conjunction with Ninja Theory, creators of Enslaved and Heavenly Sword. Producer for the project is Alex Jones, based out of Capcom's San Mateo branch called CEI. Capcom Japan is overseeing the project.

"I'm very grateful and humbled to work with Capcom on such an important project," said Ninja Theory Creative Director Tameem Antoniades. "We hope to make a game even Dante would be proud of."

Alex Jones, who was also in attendance, said it was too early to talk about release dates. The game is just being called Devil May Cry, however the logo says 'DMC' in graffiti style art. No platforms were announced, this is a console game.

It's got an impressive team behind it but I'm mostly interested in the main character, is it someone brand new or a redesigned Dante? Given the mostly badly recieved history of adding new playable characters to the series or changing Dante in any, it's a brave move.
