A remastered version of Devil May Cry 4, Special Edition includes updated graphic details with better shadows, enhanced lighting, and overhauled effects. It also added 3 new playable characters, namely Vergil, Lady, and Trish, along with new costumes and pallet swaps for Dante and Nero as well as the new playable characters. The game also use autosaving, as opposed to save slots in the original game.

It was first released in Japan on June 18, 2015, followed by the releases worldwide on June 23, 2015.

Despite being a update version of the original game, it doesn't allow the high quality Anti-aliasing setting that the original release have.[1]
