The future of the Devil May Cry series may seem uncertain with the departure of its longtime director, Hideaki Itsuno, but there's still strong hope for a new installment. Let's delve into why a Devil May Cry 6 is not only possible but highly likely.
The departure of Hideaki Itsuno from Capcom after over 30 years of service, including directing Devil May Cry 3, 4, and 5, has sparked concerns about the future of the franchise. However, the likelihood of a Devil May Cry 6 remains strong. Capcom may be developing a new game in the series even as we speak, albeit without Itsuno's direct involvement.
The Devil May Cry series has experienced its share of highs and lows, from its origins as a reimagined Resident Evil game, to the critically panned Devil May Cry 2, the challenging development of Devil May Cry 4, and the controversial DmC reboot. Yet, each setback has been met with a triumphant return. Devil May Cry 1 became an unexpected success, Itsuno redeemed himself with the highly acclaimed Devil May Cry 3, Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition improved upon the original, and Devil May Cry 5 followed the unsuccessful reboot with a resounding hit.
While some fans fear that Itsuno's departure marks the end of the series, this is far from the truth. Devil May Cry remains one of Capcom's most popular, bestselling, and cherished franchises. Given its recent resurgence and massive success with Devil May Cry 5, along with the cult following of Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition and the iconic 'Bury the Light' theme song for Vergil, which has amassed over 110 million plays on Spotify and 132 million views on YouTube, it would be a missed opportunity for Capcom not to continue the series.
The franchise is also expanding its reach with an animated series on Netflix, featuring the charismatic Dante and his thrilling combat style. This mainstream exposure further solidifies the demand and potential for a Devil May Cry 6.
