Capcom officially making a Devil May Cry movie

By Jeff Hughes Published June 8, 2011

Demon killing Dante may be the next pale and moody monster girls faun over. He’s made his way through manga, novels, comic books and anime—now Capcom has officially announced that Devil May Cry will be hitting the big screen.

The feature film rights have been purchased by Screen Gems, which is the Sony pictures subsidiary behind the Resident Evil movies. It’s a fitting place for the budding film project since the Devil May Cry game was originally slated to be part of the Resident Evil series. Not to mention, Screen Gems has done pretty well squeezing $580 million globally out of the popular Resident Evil movies. Some of Capcom’s other movie adaptation’s haven’t been as successful (looking at you Chun-Li movie).

The big screen Dante will be written by Kyle Ward who has worked on the screenplays for Hit Man 2 and Kane and Lynch, though is still relatively untested. No director has signed on to the project yet.

The Devil May Cry franchise has pumped out five video games, but the movie’s storyline will be based off the DmC Devil May Cry which is the latest in the series. The red-coated silver-haired Dante many players are used to seeing will not be in the movie. The hero of Ninja Theory’s upcoming game is a leaner, dark-haired more sadistic looking Dante who smokes. The new design is slightly reminiscent of Brandon Lee’s Crow.

Though the movie will be based off of the DmC Devil May Cry, Ninja Theory hasn’t given out anything concrete as to the game’s storyline; whether it will be a reboot with Dante avenging his mother’s death, or a prequel centering around a much younger demon hunter.

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like

An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
