Capcom has announced the popular Bloody Palace mode for DmC: Devil May Cry will be available on Feb. 20. The free DLC lets players battle through 100 different levels and five different boss fights. As usual, the game needs to be beaten first before players can access Bloody Palace.
North American PS3 gamers will actually get a little head start on everyone else.
"DmC fans, I'm very excited to announce two pieces of DmC news today," writes Capcom Unity. "First, we have a release date for the long-awaited Bloody Palace Mode! This highly-anticipated mode will go live via a free update next week by the following time table:
North America - PS3: Tuesday, 2/19 | Xbox 360: Wednesday, 2/20
Europe - PS3: Wednesday, 2/20 | Xbox 360: Wednesday, 2/20"
No word on when Bloody Palace will be available for PC gamers.
In addition to Bloody Palace, Capcom will also release a patch to fix minor problems at the same time. Capcom says the patch will resolve these issues:
"Poison AI issue addressed (she no longer enters non-interactive state)
-Lessened damage and style boost from Demon Evade
-Arbiter 'Drop' now causes damage and style gain even if jump-canceled
-Non-damaging moves no longer provide style points
-Damage done by weakest enemies increased
-Damage done by all enemies increased on Nephilim and Son of Sparda modes
-Adjusted attack (parry) windows for Rage spin move.
-SS and SSS will now decay back down to S if you stop gaining style
-No more eternal angel glide (where Dante flies around)"
DmC: Devil May Cry dropped on Jan. 15 to relatively high reviews. It reboots the popular series from a more Western perspective, setting Dante down in Limbo City, a corrupt urban landscape with a brainwashed populace.
