Rating Summary
DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB with Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence, Nudity, Sexual Content, and Strong Language. This is an action game in which players assume the role a demon slayer (Dante) seeking vengeance for his family. Players use melee weapons (e.g., swords, scythes) and firearms to attack demon hordes in frenetic melee-style combat. Battles are accompanied by realistic gunfire, explosions, and slow-motion effects; large blood splashes occur as enemies are dismembered and/or killed. Cutscenes also depict intense acts of violence: a giant boss creature cut into pieces by fan blades; a character shot through the stomach and head; Dante holding up a monster's severed head; characters impaled by swords. The game includes some sexual material: scantily clad strippers dancing/gyrating provocatively; a woman moving her head toward Dante's lap (fellatio is implied). During one cutscene, moaning sounds can be heard while a female character is bent over a table—a man is positioned behind her, though there is no actual depiction of the sex act. A handful of still images (i.e., concept art) portray women with exposed breasts and/or buttocks. The phrase “crack whore,” and words such as “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “c*nt” can be heard in the dialogue.
