Devil May Cry 6: Release Rumors Explored

The future of Devil May Cry might seem uncertain with its longtime director stepping away, but the series' legacy and popularity suggest a bright future. Let's dive into why we believe another installment is on the horizon.

Will Capcom Make Another Devil May Cry Game?

Very Likely, Even Without Itsuno At the Helm

The departure of Hideaki Itsuno, the visionary behind Devil May Cry 3, 4, and 5, from Capcom after over 30 years has raised questions about the future of the beloved hack-n-slash series. Yet, the chances of seeing Devil May Cry 6 remain high, and it might already be in development—just not under Itsuno's direction.

Devil May Cry has experienced its share of highs and lows. Initially conceived as a Resident Evil game, it transformed into a surprise hit with the first title. The series faced challenges with Devil May Cry 2, but Itsuno's dedication led to the acclaimed Devil May Cry 3. The troubled development of Devil May Cry 4 was later addressed with the Special Edition, and the reboot DmC: Devil May Cry paved the way for the triumphant return with Devil May Cry 5.

While Itsuno's exit might feel like a setback, Devil May Cry remains one of Capcom's top franchises. Its success and resurgence, particularly with Devil May Cry 5 and its Special Edition, cannot be ignored. The latter introduced Vergil and his iconic theme song, 'Bury the Light,' which has garnered over 110 million plays on Spotify and 132 million views on YouTube for an unofficial upload.

Adding to the franchise's momentum, a new animated series featuring Dante is set to hit Netflix, bringing the devil hunter's thrilling action to a broader audience. With such strong fan support and ongoing projects, it's clear that *Devil May Cry* is far from over. Capcom would be wise to continue this beloved series, and fans can look forward to the next thrilling chapter.
