Devil May Cry 5released in early 2019, but fans are already hoping for news regarding a sequel. While there wasDmC: Devil May Cry’s release in 2013, manyDevil May Cryfans have been waiting since 2008’sDevil May Cry 4for a true follow-up. Many hope thatDevil May Cry 6will come soon, but nothing is guaranteed. However,Devil May Cry5director Hideaki Itsuno, for his part, does have a tease for fans.
Itsuno posted a message to Twitter in celebration of New Year’s Day. The tweet includes a photo of the development team, and a message where Itsuno bids everyone a happy new year and asks his fans if they’ve gotten the chance to play thenewDevil May Cry 5DLC. If they haven’t, Itsuno asks that they please try it out and play as Vergil. Then, to close out the message, Itsuno teases that the team is currently working on a new project.

Those hoping for a proper announcement or a more robust teaser are going to be disappointed, however. All Itsuno says is that another project is currently being worked on. Yet the framing heavily implies it’s a new game being worked on andnot another DLC project, and the only extra detail provided is that it was being worked on alongside the development of the recentDevil May Cry 5DLC.
Fans are speculating that Itsuno is confirming that work has begun onDevil May Cry 6, but he can’t name the game for obvious reasons. There’s no real evidence of that, however, as Itsuno could be working onDevil May Cry 6or he could be working on something else entirely. After all, Itsuno has been the director of many other games,includingDragon’s Dogma, which is rumored to have a sequel in the works.
In this case, it may be best for fans to keep their expectations in check. Capcom recently suffered a major internal leak, which revealed many of the studio’s upcoming projects and plans. The leak made no mention of anotherDevil May Crygame releasing through 2024. Other projects that Itsuno could be involved in includeDragon’s Dogma 2, a newOnimushagame, or remakes of eitherFinal FightorPower Stone.
After the release ofDevil May Cry 5in 2019, Itsuno said he wanted to prove intense action games still had a place in the modern gaming industry.Devil May Cry 5was quite successful, so perhaps that was enough for Itsuno and he has other plans now. However, he could also have a surprise in store for fans of the long-running series.
Devil May Cry 5is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
