This is a prequel/reimagining of the series, so Dante's supposedly younger than he was in Devil May Cry 1. He has a few strands of white hair here which might allude to the fact that he gets his trademark white hair later on in the game. Also, who knows if this is even Dante? Anyway, I wasn't too fond of the redesigns either, but Team Ninja's working on this game so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt until it comes out.
