— October 22, 2018 — Tech
Capcom's upcoming 'Devil May Cry 5' comes with the requisite collector's editions but its 'Ultra Limited Edition' release stands out as something unique thanks to a price tag of 972,000 yen or $8,600 USD. Created for dedicated Devil May Cry fans, this limited-edition release comes in three different varieties. The Devil May Cry 5 limited-edition release will only be sold by Capcom Japan and features a jacket worn by one of the game's three playable characters.

The jackets are all life-sized models, drawing measurements from character heights and dimensions. The jackets will also feature several details drawn from the game, including battle damage, dirt and even small scratches to the fabric. The Devil May Cry 5 designs are also all constructed from real leather.
