New stages and high-res screenies for Devil May Cry 4

Here comes the latest batch of screenshots for one of Capcom‘s most enduring titles, Devil May Cry, which is now at its fourth reincarnation. Devil May Cry 4 is bound to be released for the Playstation 3, though no exact date has yet been announced. It is, however, expected to be out before March 31 of 2007 which is the end of Capcom‘s fiscal year.

In any case, we have two pieces of artwork which shows two of the new stages that players will be able to explore in the game. One looks like a cathedral corridor while the other is an outdoor area with a view of the city below. Could this mean that Dante will be free to roam the said city? We also have several screenshots of what seems to be a big, fiery boss, as well as Nero (or is that Dante…?) fighting blade-wielding cousins of Tim Burton’s Oogie Boogie in a courtyard. They were previously seen as tiny, little pictures in magazine scans, but we now have them in all their 1080 x 608 glory.

What intrigues me the most about this game, however, is while watching the official TGS trailer of the game, Nero is shown going up against Dante, and then pointing a white gun which is covered in what seemed to be engraving. Recalling Devil May Cry 1 where Dante is never seen without his pair of pistols Ebony and Ivory, is it possible that Nero was using one of Dante’s own guns? “How so” and “why” are the two foremost questions running at the back of my head.

And then there’s the aria-singing girl in the trailer as well. Who is she and what is she doing, performing in what looks like an abandoned cathedral?

Hurry up, Capcom! We want to know!
