Devil May Cry Remake Will Not Be Made Like 24 Years Ago

The gaming industry has seen a surge in remakes of classic titles, spearheaded by legendary developers. From Final Fantasy VII to Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil 4, the trend is undeniable. Now, the original Devil May Cry (DMC) might join this prestigious list, as its director, Hideki Kamiya, has voiced his interest in a remake.

In a recent video on his YouTube channel dated May 8, Kamiya engaged with fans, discussing remakes and sequels. When posed with the question about a potential DMC remake, he enthusiastically responded, "A remake like that, well, I would like to do that."

First Released 2001

Originally slated to be Resident Evil 4, Devil May Cry was released in 2001 after a significant shift in its core concept, leading Capcom to birth the DMC franchise.

Reflecting on the game's origins, Kamiya shared a personal anecdote from 2000. After a painful breakup, he channeled his emotions into the creation of DMC, transforming his heartache into a groundbreaking game.

Kamiya admits he doesn't revisit his games post-release, including DMC. However, occasional glimpses of gameplay remind him of the game's age and its traditional design elements. Should he embark on a remake, Kamiya plans to rebuild it entirely, leveraging modern technology and contemporary game design philosophies.

While the idea of remaking DMC isn't at the forefront of his mind, Kamiya remains open to the project. He humorously yet confidently stated, "But if the time comes— I’ll come up with something. That’s what I do." Beyond DMC, Kamiya also harbors ambitions to remake Viewtiful Joe. With these insights, fans of Kamiya's work are eagerly anticipating potential remakes of these cherished titles in the near future.
