Capcom has confirmed the demo for Devil May Cry 4 on PS3 and Xbox 360 will be released early next year. A free downloadable demo of the game will be available on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace in early 2008.

The demo introduces gamers to the gothic-inspired supernatural world of Devil May Cry 4, new protagonist Nero and the power of his Devil Bringer. The demo consists of a sampling of sections from the full game, chosen to showcase Devil May Cry 4’s varied locales and allows gamers to familiarise themselves with Nero’s unique abilities.

Players will receive instruction on the various new actions that the Devil Bringer bestows, such as the ability to slam creatures to the ground, cover great distances in a single bound or even grab enemies while on the ground or in the air and pull them towards Nero to continue the attack combo. The Exceed system allows Nero to 'rev up' his sword and unleash attacks. Players will need to master all these techniques before the end of demo showdown with the mighty Berial.

Devil May Cry 4 demo brings to life the coastal city of Fortuna and its surroundings, such as the port and snow-capped mountain ranges. Devil May Cry 4 delivers its action at a constant 60Hz frame rate at 720P resolution on HD monitors.
