Just in time for the holidays, Capcom is bringing the PC version of its demon slaying action romp Devil May Cry 4 over to digital distribution partners on December 22. Apparently, backstage issues with licensing caused the holdup and Capcom is pleased to report that everything has been resolved on that front. It’s been a long time coming considering the title originally hit retail shelves last year, but better late than never, we say. While there’s no word on price, we’ll find out soon once pre-orders open on Steam et al.

If you’ve been holding out this long and are curious to know what advantages the PC version brings to the table over its console counterparts, hit the break.
