Devil May Cry 1 remake rumoured to be in the works

Capcom has found a great deal of success in the remake space, particularly when it comes to their Resident Evil franchise. With the publisher having already revived a majority of past mainline RE titles, it seems Capcom is planning to expand its remaking efforts to other franchises – with a Devil May Cry remake rumoured to currently be in development.

As reported by ‘Stiviwonder’ (though should of course be taken with a major pinch of salt) a remake of Devil May Cry is said to be in the works.

As of now, no further details were offered. That said, Stiviwonder has shared other leaks in the past (some of which were corroborated by known Capcom insiders), lending a little bit of credence to the rumours.

While far from Capcom’s biggest franchise, the Devil May Cry series has grown significantly in recent years, with the most recent mainline entry ‘DMC 5’ selling over 10 million copies and helping to push the franchise past the 30 million mark.

Combine this with comments from Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya claiming that he would “love to” remake DMC1 and it seems like such a project could indeed be a reality.

Of course, we will have to wait patiently to find out whether there is any merit to the rumour. Still, with DMC 5 having been released over 7 years ago at this point, it is high time that we got a new entry in one form or another.
