Devil May Cry 5’s character upgrades can be bought with real money

Devil May Cry 5 will feature microtransactions that can be used to level up your characters. In a new build of the game, playable at the Tokyo Game Show, fans found that they were able to purchase Red Orbs - which have featured throughout the series as in-game currency - as use their earnings to upgrade their characters. If you’re not up-to-date with DmC lore, Red Orbs are red stones made up of the crystallised blood of demons, and the amount of them you pick up during a level factors into your final grade. However, while in previous iterations Red Orbs were cashed in at the game’s Divinity Statues, those same statues are now the go-to for players wishing to speed up their in-game progression. DmC 5 isn’t the first time these microtransactions have featured in the series - a similar system existed in Devil May Cry 4’s Special Edition. Elsewhere in the series, however, progression has been entirely free, and in the first three games in the series, Red Orbs are far more versatile means of upgrading your characters than they are now.
