Capcom has announced that Devil May Cry 5 will launch on March 8, 2019 for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One.

The release date for the stylish actioner as confirmed at the end of a new trailer, which offers a gander at Nero and Dante getting hack and slashy with some demonic hordes. Dante even uses his bike in combat, which transforms into a massive weapon of some description. Yep, this is definitely a Devil May Cry game.

We still don't know who the third playable character is yet, although it's definitely good to see Dante back in the thick of things. Plus, he looks pretty cool with a bit of facial fuzz, right?

Capcom has previously said that it's aiming for photo realism with Devil May Cry 5, which apparently boasts the best facial animations in the company's entire history. Blimey.

Next year is shaping up pretty well for Capcom, with Resident Evil 2 also arriving in early 2019.
