Over a year since its release, Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat continues to thrive. Launched amidst a flurry of international releases by Tencent following the significant Chinese gaming license freeze, the game has sparked mixed reactions among fans, despite its solid performance as a 3D brawler. Now, the excitement ramps up with the introduction of a new character: Awakened Prince Dante.

Awakened Prince Dante sports a notably demonic aesthetic, wielding both his fists and sword with equal prowess. Embracing the darker aspects of his nature, this version of Dante harnesses the Sin Devil Trigger along with a suite of special abilities. One standout feature is the Life Waste effect, which causes enemies to suffer additional HP loss over time after being hit.

This character's debut coincides with Peak of Combat celebrating over a year on global storefronts. With the concurrent success of the Netflix Devil May Cry anime (which, like the game, has received mixed reviews), it's plausible that Peak of Combat is reaping some indirect benefits. Notably, players in Asia are enjoying a 50% rebate on summons during their anniversary event.

While Peak of Combat isn't without its flaws, particularly due to its adherence to Tencent's monetization strategies, the introduction of Awakened Prince Dante underscores the game's commitment to exploring the rich lore of the Devil May Cry series through its diverse character roster.

Awakened Prince Dante is not designed for beginners, boasting enhancements like increased shield-breaking efficiency. For seasoned players honing their combo skills, this character presents an enticing challenge.
