"Devil May Cry 6: Release Rumors and Speculations"

The future of Devil May Cry may seem uncertain following the departure of its longtime director, Hideaki Itsuno, after over three decades with Capcom. However, the series' rich history and continued popularity suggest that fans can still look forward to a new installment. Let's explore why a Devil May Cry 6 is likely on the horizon.

Will Capcom Make Another Devil May Cry Game?

Very Likely, Even Without Itsuno At the Helm

Hideaki Itsuno, the visionary behind Devil May Cry 3, 4, and 5, has recently left Capcom, leaving many to wonder about the future of the franchise. Despite this significant change, the chances of seeing a sixth entry in the beloved hack-and-slash series remain high. Capcom might already be developing DMC 6, just without Itsuno's direct involvement.

Devil May Cry has experienced a rollercoaster of highs and lows throughout its history. Originally conceived as a Resident Evil game, the first title became a surprise hit. The second game, directed by Itsuno in its later stages, was a disappointment, but he redeemed himself with the critically acclaimed DMC 3. The troubled development of DMC 4 was later addressed with the Special Edition, and DMC 5 emerged triumphant after the controversial DmC reboot. Each setback has been followed by a triumphant return, showcasing Capcom's commitment to the franchise.

While some might view Itsuno's departure as a potential end for the series, this couldn't be further from the truth. Devil May Cry remains one of Capcom's most popular, bestselling, and beloved franchises. Given the massive success and resurgence the series has seen with DMC 5 and its Special Edition, which popularized Vergil and his iconic theme song "Bury the Light," Capcom would be remiss not to continue the saga. "Bury the Light" has amassed over 110 million plays on Spotify and an unofficial YouTube upload has garnered 132 million views, indicating the song's monumental impact within the gaming community.
