Dante shoots up a night club in new DmC trailer

Dante "the Demon Killer" swaggers into a night club in this E3 trailer.

The video contains a message for a group called "the Order" and introduces an insect-like enemy called Poison and a bald antagonist seen spying on Dante.

Developer Ninja Theory promises a "more brutal and visceral edge" to the game as Dante comes "to terms with what it means to be the child of a demon and an angel" — a struggle that impacts gameplay.

DmC: Devil May Cry will be available for PS3 and Xbox 360 on January 15, 2013. A PC version is in development.

Take a look at the new trailer below.
