Devil May Cry 5 Hunter Edition has been officially rated for the Switch 2

While the Devil May Cry series is as popular as it has ever been, the most recent entry in the spectacle fighter launched over 7 years ago at this point with no new mainline title in sight. That said, it appears as though DMC 5 is set to receive another re-release, with Devil May Cry 5: Hunter Edition having recently been listed for Switch 2 by the Taiwanese Game Rating Board.

As discovered by Reddit user ‘NintendoGalaxy’ the Taiwanese Game Rating Board recently published a listing for Devil May Cry 5: Hunter Edition. Though little else is known beyond this currently, the rating lists a single platform for this upcoming release – seemingly coming to the Nintendo Switch 2.

This makes some sense, as while DMC 5 was never ported over to the OG Switch, the game did originally launch on 8th-gen consoles (PS4 and Xbox One) and so Nintendo’s latest handheld should have more than enough horsepower to run the game.

That said, the specifics surrounding the exact details of this Hunter Edition remain unknown. For context, DMC 5 has already been re-released once, with the Special Edition landing on current-gen consoles back in 2020, introducing a new playable character, ray-tracing support and more.

How much of the Special Edition content will be included in this upcoming Hunter Edition? We will have to wait and see, but at the very least, it is encouraging to see that Capcom is doing something with the Devil May Cry franchise (outside of their animated projects). Hopefully this marks the beginning of the long-awaited return of DMC.
