Limbo City is a twisted contemporary metropolis on Earth where demons secretly rule over brainwashed and weak humans, and it is also where the very heart of the inverse dimension of Limbo resides. It is the main setting of the 2013 reboot videogame DmC: Devil May Cry.
Limbo City, like the rest of the world, is controlled by Mundus and his demon armies. They constantly observe the populace through demonic CCTV cameras, and seek to keep humanity complacent and weak. It is a well-developed city filled with skyscrapers and burroughs, and includes the Funland amusement park on Bellview Pier. Sites of interest include the Silver Sacks Tower, the Raptor News Tower, the Virility factory, the St. Lamia's Orphanage, the city's main church St. Agares's Church, and the popular nightclub Devil's Dalliance.
In early trailers, Dante is apprehended and taken to the Limbo City Police Department and is later transferred to the mental hospital, where he is kept chained to the wall and given the designation of "64432B". However, these locations are not seen or even referenced in the finished game.

Trivia
- In Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy, Limbo is the first circle of Hell that Dante and Virgil enter. Limbo is portrayed as being an area where virtuous pagans reside in. Although the virtuous pagans in Limbo are shown to be good-natured individuals compared to the heretics of the sixth circle of Hell, their lack of Christian faith prevented them from entering Paradiso.
- The city itself appears to be loosely based on Sodom and Gomorrah in the Book of Genesis. The city is depicted as a city with a "sinner population" that was destroyed with fire and brimstone by Yahweh. Much like how Limbo City is shown as a corrupt town ruled by demons and with a dystopian setting, this seems fitting.
- The large tower in the background is likely a reference to Mt. Sinai, the mountain where St. Catherine's remains were said to have been taken after she was executed by Maxentius. The tower also seems to reference the infamous Tower of Babel, which was created to reach the heavens, only to be destroyed when Yahweh (God) discovered the plot.
- The circus level appears to be modeled after the real life Coney Island in New York City, where it was filled with various amusement parks and had been successful until after World War II. Coney Island's popularity began to decline at that point in time due to neglect.
- Limbo City's designs also appears to be loosely based on New York City and to an extent, London.
