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

The trend of remaking classic games has seen a surge in recent years, with iconic titles such as Final Fantasy VII, Silent Hill 2, and Resident Evil 4 receiving the remake treatment. Now, Devil May Cry could join this prestigious list, as its creator, Hideki Kamiya, has expressed a desire to revisit and revamp the original game.

In a recent video on his YouTube channel, dated May 8, Kamiya engaged with fans, answering their questions about potential remakes and sequels. When a fan inquired about his ideas for a Devil May Cry remake, Kamiya responded enthusiastically, "A remake like that, well, I would like to do that."

First Released 2001

Originally released in 2001, Devil May Cry was initially conceived as Resident Evil 4. However, the project took a dramatic turn, resulting in the birth of the Devil May Cry series. Kamiya shared a poignant personal story behind the game's creation, revealing that it was born out of a period of heartbreak. In 2000, after being dumped by his girlfriend, Kamiya channeled his emotions into the game's development, giving birth to the iconic Dante.

Kamiya admits that he never replays his games post-release, and Devil May Cry is no exception. However, occasional glimpses of gameplay remind him of the game's age and its old-school design. Should a remake come to fruition, Kamiya is adamant about starting from scratch, leveraging modern technology and contemporary game design principles.

While the idea of a Devil May Cry remake is not at the forefront of his mind, Kamiya is open to the possibility. He stated, "But if the time comes— I’ll come up with something. That’s what I do." Beyond Devil May Cry, Kamiya also expressed interest in remaking another of his classics, Viewtiful Joe. These revelations have sparked excitement among fans, who eagerly anticipate the potential return of these beloved titles in a modernized form.
