25 years later, Hideki Kamiya says he’d make another Devil May Cry game just to clear up some deep-cut lore
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.
In short
- Hideki Kamiya reflects on Devil May Cry 25 years after its creation
- He'd make another entry just to resolve obscure lore
- No new game or his return has actually been confirmed
Explained simply
Devil May Cry is an action game series published by Japanese company Capcom. It follows demon hunter Dante and others who fight supernatural enemies, with a story told across several games.
Hideki Kamiya directed the first game, which grew out of an early idea for Resident Evil 4 before becoming a separate series. Capcom has made later entries without his direct involvement, and the games have added layers to the series’ history and characters.
Some details of that backstory remain unexplained, which matters to fans who follow how the games fit together. Kamiya’s connection to the original makes his views on those story threads of particular interest.
