Plot

The White Rabbit, a demonic terrorist, orchestrates a break-in at the Vatican City Museum so that he can steal the Force Edge, a sword once owned by the legendary demon Sparda, who turned against his own kind to side with humanity and create a magical barrier between Hell and Earth. The Rabbit kills his soldiers and blows up the building, announcing that he must find a demon hunter as part of his plan to destroy the barrier and usher in the apocalypse. In the wake of the attack, the US government meet with Dr. Fisher, a scientist from DARKCOM, an interdimensional security firm funded by Vice President Baines to strategize a response. Interrogating information broker Enzo Ferino, Baines and Fisher deduce that the White Rabbit cannot destroy the barrier without Sparda's magical amulet, which he split into two halves to make it harder to find. Enzo tells them that the Rabbit is looking for a hunter named Dante, and realize that he must have the missing piece. Meanwhile, Dante faces off against Plasma, a shapeshifting demon who, despite taking the form of a baby and Dante's deceased twin brother Vergil, is unsuccessful in stealing his half of the amulet.

Trivia

• Lucia from Devil May Cry 2 makes a cameo as one of the demon hunters that DARKCOM takes into custody.
