Earlier today, Capcom stopped the rumor mills by officially announcing that the latest installment of the Devil May Cry franchise will be making its way to both Xbox 360 and PC platforms. Unlike the discrepancy between 360 and PS3 game releases, the company also confirmed that the title will launch simultaneously for all three platforms.

Mark Beaumont, executive VP of software publishing for Capcom USA and Europe, said, "Capcom is committed to making its titles available to as wide an audience as possible, and has been building its technology base to meet that goal. This announcement means that PS3, Xbox 360 and PC owners worldwide will be able to experience the latest installment of one of Capcom's pillar franchises."


There's still no word whether Capcom will work out a PC distribution deal similar to the one struck last year with Ubisoft regarding Windows ports of Devil May Cry 3, Resident Evil 4, and Onimusha 3. The press release, did, however, state that "each version of the game will be maximized to take advantage of the systems' strengths, leading to a breath-taking visual and gameplay experience." Does that mean something other than matching Windows and Xbox Live achievements? We're not sure.

The press release also has not confirmed a release date for Devil May Cry 4. Stay tuned for more regarding the newest update to the blockbuster franchise as it comes along!
