This sounds the most likely and would be fucking sick. Probably just like DMC5 where you can omit weapons as well(Spiral and Nevan)
wait a second can you preload the game already? like download it? if so it might get pirated and datamined soon, which sucks, but that might spoil everything.
It honestly feels like they want to fill DMC3 with the advancements they've made with the series in DMC4 & 5.
6 Styles (Swordmaster, Gunslinger, Trickster, Royalguard, Quicksilver and Doppelganger)
Yeah, definitely, I was looking to the pictures/footage to see if in any moments he is changing weapons, or using various weapons in the same envyroment, that might give it away, but thats a sure bet, at least co-op is semi confirmed.
The eshop listing saying the game supports 2players, (it tecnically has always supported 2 characters, since in original dmc3 and all its re-releases you can play 2 player couch co-op in doppelganger, by pressing start on 2nd controller after you activate the style, the shadow dante can be controlled individually by 2nd controller (both on same screen tho, and screen only follows main dante, so its kinda tricky), this is also possible on mission 19 in which you can control another certain character the same way in that boss battle.
Oh definitely, I think whats Vergil related its the co-op thing, choose Vergil or Dante and partner up with a CPU or Player 2 and have some fun in bloody palace, thats the most plausible one I can think of, getting "new" missions/story content for Vergil would be too much and would also be costly, unless they had some stuff lying around that they can easily incorporate, but that's really unlikely.

I'm replaying DMC (never got far on PS2) on Switch and I think it's pretty great, and I'm excited to play 3 and heard wonderful things. I see what you mean about modernization.
