Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition is an enhanced re-release edition of the Greatest Hits title, boosted and more bad-assed with a new playable character (Dante's evil twin brother, Vergil, with his own unique "Dark Slayer" fighting style), the new Jester enemy, a 20% faster Turbo speed, an alternate Gold Orb save system, new and more balanced difficulty levels, Bloody Palace Mode pitting Dante against an onslaught of enemies, and Movie Mode for cutscenes.

Devil May Cry 3 unfolds an earlier chapter in Dante's history, before the original Devil May Cry, to the fateful clash between Sparda's twin sons, divided by the divergence of their chosen paths. The game increases the intensity of gameplay with a new "style" system, which adds an additional level of depth. Depending on preference, players can choose to use short-range, long-range, defensive or evasive play styles.
