The upcoming reboot of the Devil May Cry game franchise is still a few months from hitting shelves, but Capcom has already announced one big piece of downloadable content that will be available after the debut of DmC: Devil May Cry.

Titled “Vergil’s Downfall,” the new DLC will let players take on the role of Vergil, Dante’s twin brother from the series. The DLC will cost 720 MS Points or $8.99 on the PlayStation Network and will reportedly contain several hours of new, unique gameplay with a storyline and special weapons, enemies, combos, and settings tailored to the character.

Given that Vergil has been one of the chief villains of the franchise up to this point, the DLC is likely to provide some answers for anyone wondering how he strayed so far from his brother’s heroic ways.

You can watch a trailer for “Vergil’s Downfall” below, with the DLC expected to be available just after the launch of DmC: Devil May Cry on January 15. Anyone who pre-orders the game at GameStop will receive a free code for the DLC.

Your GTA 6 ‘physical copy’ could expire before you even play it

The debate around GTA 6's "physical" edition just got another twist. Rockstar has confirmed on its official website that PS5 download codes included with physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI sold in Japan will expire 170 days after the game's November 19, 2026 launch date. That means players who don't redeem the code before roughly May 8, 2027 could be left with nothing more than an empty game box, even though they purchased a physical copy. The company says the policy is required due to regional regulations in Japan.

Why only Japan?

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)
