New Devil May Cry Announced

Capcom have just finished their press conference in Tokyo, and like many before them they have tried to hold something “special” back for a final announcement. That announcement was a new Devil May Cry. The next instalment of the franchise will focus on a younger Dante but the game wasn’t announced as Devil May Cry 5, the trailer simply called the game DMC Devil May Cry.

Ninja Theory are working on the game with Capcom which Ninja Theory director Tameem Antoniades described as a “rebirth of Devil May Cry”. He added that they were “hoping to make a game that even Capcom can be proud of.” Hideaki Itsuno took to the stage to speak about how the two companies are working together. “We’re essentially co-directing the game,” Itsuno went on to explain that they are attempting to combine “the best of east and west.” There was no indication yet as to when the game would see a release.

  1. “rebirth of Devil May Cry”

    Or in english: ‘we’ve made the game generic to appeal to slack-jawed 10 year old call of duty players’.

    • You’re a little ray of sunshine today aren’t you :)

      • lol. just an educated guess based on past experience.

    • …but game will flop anyway, cause it’s shit.

      Old story. Been there, seen that.

      • Like… save the princess, save the world.

  2. It selled well has a east game so why ruin another iconic franchise!?

  3. I can’t help but feel this franchise is stagnating very quickly. They’re going to have to pull some magic out of the wizard’s sleeve on this one or it’ll be more ‘afterbirth’ than ‘rebirth’.

  4. “A younger Dante”. So he won’t be any LESS obnoxious, then… ;D

    I’d like a new DMC, though. Bring it.

  5. ninja theory are actually making a dmc game?

    interesting.

    wouldn’t have been interested in another dmc, but with ninja theory making it there is hope for something more interesting.

  6. I am a MASSIVELY HUGE fan of DMC and I loved 1, 2, 3, Special Ed 3 and 4. Yes you read right, the story of 2 sucked but i still loved the world.

    3 was awesome with the new fighting styles and 1 was the pinnacle. Fighting Mundus, running down those gothic corridors….

    I hear they are gonna give this game a western feel a’ la Resi 5 esque…

    Please CAPCOM dont ruin DMC 5….

    I have been really looking forward to this and possible 1/2/3HD remakes…

    PLEASE LET THIS BE AWESOMESAUCE……

    :-D

    • Im with you all the way on this Fox. Love them all

  7. New style looks lovely and I trust Ninja Theory to make a quality title. Bring it!

    • That doesn’t look anything like Dante…what the hell are they doing?

  8. Younger Dante? Soooo DMC 3 then?

  9. i have just watched the trailer and that is not devil may cry. where dante? the real dante with white hair and show off. and the voice wtf get the guy who voiced in 3 &4. why does it look like twilght may cry. they better not fuck up dmc just to please some racist 10 year old cod player.
