Punishing: Gray Raven’s collaboration with Devil May Cry 5 is a landmark gacha event for action fans. Here’s everything to expect from the celebration, including how to unlock Dante and Vergil, what to save for, and why this collab is such a big deal.

Collab Launch Date and Details

The Devil May Cry 5 collab titled Lamento di Phantasma went live for Punishing Gray Raven’s global servers on August 6, 2025, following its debut in China earlier this year (Game8 event coverage, NoisyPixel news). For the first time, players can roll for and play as Dante and Vergil, complete with their signature weapons, costumes, and iconic skills.

Free and Banner Unlocks for Dante & Vergil

  • Dante: Players can obtain Dante for free by participating in the collab event story. Additional copies of Dante can be pulled from rate-up banners, with a “buy one, get one” bonus for the collab period (NoisyPixel breakdown).
  • Vergil: Available via limited-time gacha banner. Collect shards and tickets in event play for upgrades and guaranteed pulls.

Signature weapons such as Devil Sword Dante and Yamato also drop in exclusive banners, along with collaboration-only CUBs and anniversary materials (LDShop.gg guide).

Key Event Content & Bonuses

  • Collab Story: New chapters with original DMC lore and character banter.
  • Sign-in Rewards: Log in for 7 days to unlock portraits, tickets, and upgrade resources.
  • Anniversary Event: Fourth anniversary bonuses, event tickets, collectibles, and scene unlocks through September.

Gameplay bonuses include challenging boss fights, new trial modes, Bytebite Invasion, Limit Break shop deals, and unique collectibles like the Honor Medal IV (Game8 event coverage).

How Many Black Cards to Save?

Players can earn or save upwards of 40,000 Black Cards (the game’s premium currency) by maxing out event play, sign-ins, and ongoing game modes during the collaboration (LDShop.gg optimization guide). This is typically enough for optimal banner pulls and a full build.

Is the Collab Worth It?

Dante and Vergil aren’t just cosmetic prizes, they come with custom movesets, faithfully recreated from DMC5, and are top-tier for both casual and meta teams (Reddit collab reactions). Their value and rarity make this one of the best gacha crossovers in recent years.

The Punishing Gray Raven × DMC5 collab delivers real playable legends, custom events, and generous F2P rewards. If you’re a fan of DMC or high-action ARPGs, this is a must-play.
