Devil May Cry 1-4 and a dozen more join GOG’s Game Preservation Program

Late last year, PC platform holder GOG announced that they were setting up a new game preservation program. In the months since, the initiative has seen a consistent influx of games being preserved for generations to come. As part of the service’s latest update, over a dozen titles are joining GOG’s preservation program – including Mortal Kombat, Devil May Cry and more.

Taking to their blog to make the announcement, the GOG Game Preservation team unveiled the latest line-up of inductees into the program, writing:

“We’re thrilled to welcome Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition and Devil May Cry HD Collection to both the GOG catalog and the GOG Preservation Program, fully DRM-free and ready to be played in their best form forever. The timing of this double arrival is perfect, as Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition is celebrating its 10th anniversary!”

Beyond DMC however, a solid dozen other titles have also joined the program, namely:

• Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded
• Voyage: Journey to the Moon
• Star Wars Rebellion
• Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive
• Populous
• Mortal Kombat 1+2+3
• Star Trek: Judgment Rites
• Magic Carpet 2: The Netherworlds
• Castles + Castles 2
• Earthworm Jim 2
• Imperium Galactica

Full details on how each game has been adjusted in order to remain playable into the future can be found on their respective store pages. In terms of DMC however, the HD Trilogy and Devil May Cry 4 have had their stability “validated;” added support for cloud saves and “Verified compatibility with Windows 10 and 11”.
