Hideki Kamiya, the director behind the original Devil May Cry, has said that 25 years on from creating the franchise, he would consider returning to make another entry purely to resolve a piece of obscure, deep-cut lore left unexplained in the series. The remark highlights how invested Kamiya remains in the story details of a franchise he no longer directly oversees, and will interest long-time fans who track the series' often convoluted backstory.

Devil May Cry, which Kamiya originally conceived while working on what became Resident Evil 4 before it split off into its own action franchise, has since been continued by Capcom without his direct involvement. His comments suggest that even after a quarter of a century, there remain loose narrative threads he feels only he could properly tie up, though no concrete plans for a new game or his involvement were confirmed.
