Devil May Cry received prominent coverage in the video game media due to the impact it had in the action-adventure genre, its high difficulty, and the high overall scores given to it by professional reviewers. Several gameplay elements were also inspired by a bug found in Onimusha: Warlords. Due to the staff feeling it would not fit the Resident Evil franchise, the project became its own title.

The game is very loosely based on the Italian poem Divine Comedy by the use of allusions, including the game's protagonist Dante (named after Dante Alighieri) and other characters like Trish ( Beatrice Portinari) and Vergil ( Virgil). The story is told primarily through a mixture of cutscenes, which use the game engine and several pre-rendered full motion videos. He meets a woman named Trish who takes him on a journey to defeat the demon lord Mundus, who is responsible for the deaths of Dante's brother and mother. Set in modern times on the fictional Mallet Island, the story centers on Dante, a demon hunter who uses his business to carry out a lifelong vendetta against all demons.
