[SPOILER WARNING] Datamined 4th Playable Character on Video

[Foxtrot94]

Yeah looks like it's a thing. Everyone who beat the game knew that Vergil does exist with its own mechanics and moves in the game in the form of a boss but seems like the code for the playable version is there as well.
Apparently what's currently datamineable from the game indicates that it's not enough of a moveset to warrant him being an actual playable character right now, so people are speculating the code will be finalized when the Bloody Palace DLC drops, bringing playable Vergil with it.

It would be awesome if true, though maybe it just reserved for last fights where you both fight as a team.

But that part is still governed by the code that manages him as an NPC. Wouldn't make sense to write code for him to be controllable for that specific part. My guess is that they have it as a base for them to build on once the DLC drops rather than having to do the entirety of the code for the playable version from scratch, since they only have a month basically.

Some of his moves are broken as hell... I want to use him before they balance him out.

hmm interesting. I hope you're right.

He had the same moveset o the dmc 4 special edition

 

[Ronin]

I just hope they'll do something different in his moveset this time. New weapons for a change.

I read the rules and I think it's fine if I post this. This link leads to a specific post in a forum that has a cheat table that let's you play as any character you want in any mission. That includes Vergil.

 

[Foxtrot94]

There's even code for the EX color. I dunno, I'd be really surprised if he doesn't turn out to be playable at some point.

 

[Lifell]

Yeah, seems very unlikely now that he won't be around. Awesome. Love where DMC5 is going.

 

[Foxtrot94]

Hmm, upcoming announcements? Is something cooking?

 

[Lain]

Can I just say that Daniel Southworth is looking damn fine for his age? :blush:

Also, yay playable Vergil I guess. :tongue:

 

[Stylish Nero]

Considering they keep reiterating they have no DLC planned outside of Bloody Palace. Either they're lying or waiting to see how DMC5 does sales wise before investing DLC plans into it and thus have this Vergil back up data just in case so they can start somewhere rather quickly.

 

[LordOfDarkness]

Vergil in Bloody Palace and his own DLC story missions. I’m calling it now!

 

[ef9dante_oSsshea]

If all I get is Vergil playable in bloody palace I'll be happy

If we get him and lady and Trish , and a standalone dlc for Vergil himself

I may actually weep

I guess it's confirmed. I don't really know if it was already known though. Haven't been very up to date.

 

[Foxtrot94]

I guess it's confirmed.

Not necessarily. Looks like Vergil's EX color are just like Lady and Trish's, they're there for the cutscenes, since it says you can change it in cutscene settings. After all, Lady and Trish have EXs too, yet they're not playable nor do I think they will be.

We'll see.

Vergil DLC with actual story!!!

i hope that's the case.

Ah yeah, good point. Well, first of April is approaching fast so we'll know soon enough.

Vergil DLC with actual story!!!

i hope that's the case.

Vergil with a story would be great. It could easily fit into the game as well. Dante and Vergil go on a trip to save the world while Nero stays behind. Starting a mini campaign from that point (end of the game basically) with Vergil and Dante as playable characters wouldn't be that far fetched. But yeah, just wait and see for now. I hope for an awesome campaign as well.
