Devil May Cry 6: Release Rumors and Speculations
The future of Devil May Cry might seem uncertain with the departure of its longtime director, but there's still hope for fans. Let's explore why we believe a new installment could be on the horizon.
Will Capcom Make Another Devil May Cry Game?
Very Likely, Even Without Itsuno At the Helm
The recent departure of Hideaki Itsuno from Capcom, after an impressive tenure of over 30 years, has sparked concerns about the future of the Devil May Cry series. Itsuno, who directed DMC 3, 4, and 5, leaving the company might seem like a blow to the franchise. However, the likelihood of a Devil May Cry 6 remains high, and there's a chance that development might already be underway, albeit without Itsuno at the helm.
The Devil May Cry series has experienced its fair share of highs and lows. From its origins as a Resident Evil game to the mixed reception of Devil May Cry 2, the troubled development of DMC 4, and the controversial DmC reboot, the series has always bounced back. Each setback has been followed by a triumphant return, with DMC 1 becoming a surprise hit, DMC 3 redeeming the series, DMC 4 Special Edition enhancing the original, and DMC 5 revitalizing the franchise after the reboot's lukewarm reception.
While some might view Itsuno's departure as a potential end to the series, this couldn't be further from the truth. Devil May Cry is one of Capcom's most popular, bestselling, and beloved franchises. With the massive success and resurgence following DMC 5 and its Special Edition, which introduced Vergil and his iconic theme song 'Bury the Light,' the series has never been more relevant. 'Bury the Light' has amassed over 110 million plays on Spotify and an unofficial YouTube upload has garnered 132 million views, showcasing the song's immense popularity within the gaming community.
Moreover, the franchise is expanding its reach with an animated series on Netflix, featuring the charismatic Dante and his signature sword-fighting and gun-slinging action. This move to mainstream media further solidifies the series' enduring appeal and Capcom's commitment to its future.In conclusion, despite the departure of Itsuno, the strong fanbase, recent successes, and ongoing projects suggest that a Devil May Cry 6 is not only possible but highly probable. Capcom would be wise to continue this beloved series, ensuring that fans can look forward to more thrilling adventures with Dante and his crew.
