Devil May Cry 3 was released in February and March 2005 for the PlayStation 2 and ported to Windows in June and October 2006. It was widely praised by critics, hailing it as a return to form for the series, yet did receive some criticisms for its high level of difficulty in the North American release.[5][6] It was re‐released in 2006 as Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition[c], featuring retooled difficulty levels, the addition of mid-mission checkpoints, "GOLD mode", and Vergil as a playable character. Combined sales of both versions were over 2.3 million. It has been cited as one of the greatest video games ever made.
A 2005 manga prequel to Devil May Cry 3's storyline was published in Japan and later the United States.
