Devil May Cry 4 - Official Release Date Revealed

February 2008 is the official release date given to Devil May Cry 4, the game that mixes the supernatural with high octane action.
DMC4 recently hit headlines due to the outcry by Playstation gamers when it was announced it would be a multi-platform release instead of an Playstation exclusive, as was the case with previous games in the series (PS fans were so upset they even sent a petition to Capcom saying they would boycott other Capcom titles if the decision wasn't overturned, it wasn’t, obviously).

As well as the release date (though they gave no indication of what day in February it will be released on) Capcom kindly issued a fact sheet as well, which is as follows.

Game info:
Set in the costal city of Fortuna, the game’s action begins when Dante bursts in on a ceremony being conducted by the Order of the Sword, an ancient sect based in the coastal city of Fortuna, which worships Sparda the devil warrior who saved mankind. As Dante begins indiscriminately slaughtering sect members Nero fears for the safety of his childhood friend Kyrie and confronts Dante in order to protect her.

With players taking control of Nero, the immense power of the Devil Bringer begins to be revealed as a fierce confrontation against Dante ensues. After an intense struggle Dante decides to leave this particular fight for another day and makes good his escape. Chasing after him Nero is suddenly stopped in his tracks as mysterious portals begin appearing throughout Fortuna spewing forth ghastly demons. What is the reason for this demonic invasion is Dante responsible?
