Devil May Cry 5 will be released on March 8, 2019.
After unveiling a new trailer for the upcoming Devil May Cry 5 game at the Tokyo Game Show 2018 this week, Capcom also released Subhuman, a music video.
The track performed by American deathcore band Suicide Silence was meant to be featured in the upcoming DMC 5 game as the battle theme for lead character Dante.
However, Capcom has pulled the video from YouTube after reports surfaced about lead singer Eddie Hermida’s alleged sexual misconduct with an underage fan.
The company told website Waypoint that it will no longer use the music video to promote the game.
“The music was recorded for the game before the incident came to light and we were unaware of the incident until now. However, as we are now aware of the current situation, Capcom has decided that moving forward, we will not further highlight the Dante battle theme for promotional purposes at this time. We are also currently evaluating what options are possible for the full game at this point, which is dependent on various factors such as resources," Capcom said in a statement to Waypoint.
In 2017, a 17-year-old posted on social media that Hermida had emotionally manipulated her into sending him nude photos of herself. She also alleged that Hermida sent her “suggestive photos” of himself. At that time, Hermida was 32.
Hermida has apologised to her in a post on Facebook but claimed that she told him that she had already turned 18.
Devil May Cry 5 is due for release on March 8, 2019.
