During its pre-Gamescom press conference, Capcom has announced that Dante's brother — Vergil — will make an appearance in DmC.
Not only will Dante's brother make an appearance, he'll play a major role in the reboot, too. The publisher has revealed that Vergil "recruits" Dante into a group called "The Order" that's comprised of a group of hackers, spies and other people banding together to save mankind against the demons proliferating the world.
In addition to this, to make things a bit spicier, Capcom states that both have been estranged since childhood and Dante has no memory of Vergil being his brother; though it's revealed that the brothers will fight alongside each other and Vergil will still use his trusty sword — Yamato.
We'll have more news on DmC as Gamescom continues to open up.
DmC is scheduled to hit early next year for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
