Nope, quite conclusively a prequel. Capcom stated this was to be Dante's origin story. So thats him getting out into fighting demons in the first place, before he went to set up shop in 3.
And it's usually before or after they say that that they also call it a "reboot of the series" or somesuch. I'm not saying that it isn't supposed to be canon, but rather that it is indeed a reboot of the series, whether the fans want a reboot or not.[/qoute]
Really with every piece of DMC media retconning something from previous media its impossible to see how a reboot will end up being much different.

Besides if you really care about the DMC series you should know its more about the gameplay, less about the story.
And this is the main reason why I'm not particularly optimistic about this project. Ninja Theory and Unreal Engine 3 spells shitty game. I'm open to being convinced otherwise, but I don't foresee any good coming of this. DINO still pisses me off almost as much as the prospect of Devil May Cry being Ninja Theory'd and Unreal'd, but the gameplay
is my main concern.
Now thats a more valid argument than the younger Dante. I just hope NT takes advice from Capcom on this. Either way, if it all goes south, ill just supplant it for Asuras Wrath.
Edit: quoting seems a bit broken there, sorry.
