The Divisive Reboot Could’ve Had a Sequel Made by Devil May Cry 5’s Director
The director of Devil May Cry 5 said recently that he initially wanted to make a sequel to the divisive 2013 reboot but since several members of his team weren’t involved in the reboot’s development, they ultimately decided to create a fifth Devil May Cry game instead.
“I really wanted to make a DmC: Devil May Cry 2, after the first one,” director Hideaki Itsuno told VG247 during this year’s Tokyo Game Show. “I was really pumped up to do it, and then that didn’t happen. So… when it came time to make a new game, we said, alright, let’s make Devil May Cry 5.”
“We had these people that didn’t work on DmC and people that did,” Itsuno also said. “Because we had these two sides mixing, it was like alright, we’re going to make Devil May Cry 5 – it’s not going to be a sequel to DmC, but we definitely want to do what we can to take what we learned from that game too.”
Itsuno added that if the reboot were to get a sequel then it would be a project that “Ninja Theory should collaborate with Capcom on”.
It should be noted that Ninja Theory were the developers of the 2013 reboot game.
Other Devil May Cry 5 news: it’ll have co-op but Itsuno’s being tight-lipped about the details.
