E3, LOS ANGELES - May 22, 2002 - Capcom® today unveiled the largest surprise
of E3 2002 with the announcement of Devil May Cry 2, the "gothic thriller"
for the PlayStationâ2 computer entertainment system. Making its worldwide
debut at E3 with a special presentation every hour throughout the show,
Devil May Cry 2 sees the return of Dante, the half-human, half-demon
devil hunter who uses his unearthly powers to crack an evil attempt
to revive once-perished demons who seek world domination. Devil May
Cry 2 is the sequel to last years smash hit, Devil May Cry, that sold
more than two million units worldwide. The product is not yet rated

America release this winter.
Devil May Cry 2 boasts the following features:
