Among some bugfixes and a rebalancing of the game’s difficulty modes, it also boasted several new additions, including new difficulties altogether, new boss-fights, a reintroduction of the Bloody Palace gauntlet from the otherwise maligned Devil May Cry 2, and – most notable of all – a new playable character in series protagonist’s brother, Vergil. It all began with Devil May Cry 3, which unleashed its “Special Edition” upon the public just a hair over a year after the original release. The Devil May Cry series has a storied history of re-releases.
