Wanting to shake up the collection, Capcom turned to British studio Ninja Principle to reboot and reimagine Satan Might Cry. Inspired by the writer to be as wildly inventive as attainable, the staff behind Heavenly Sword and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West dreamed up a grittier model of Dante who inhabits Limbo Metropolis, a world current in parallel with the demonic realm.
