There are two types of people in the world: those who immediately recognized V from Devil May Cry 5 as Kylo Ren from Star Wars and those who saw it after being told. While Capcom denied any sort of influence from actor Adam Driver, thankfully mods are here to just fully complete the thought for us.
This video, which does contain some spoilers from DMC5, is a suite of cutscenes from the games modded to replace V’s outfit with one that more closely resembles Ren’s, complete with a cross-shaped lightsaber instead of his cane. Granted, it doesn’t act exactly like a lightsaber, considering V/Ren grabs it by the light part and points it around, maybe that still somewhat fits with the Sith’s masochistic and self-abusive personality.
Check out the video below.
I’d be into a late-trilogy twist of Kylo Ren revealing he can shoot animals out of his lightsaber, honestly. It wouldn’t be that much weirder than Ewoks.
Devil May Cry 5 is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
