While Resident Evil has dominated Capcom’s remake strategy for years, new reports suggest the company is finally ready to revisit the stylish action roots of Dante. Rumors circulating on platforms like Reddit indicate that a modern version of the 2001 classic Devil May Cry is currently in development.

Originally directed by Hideki Kamiya, the first Devil May Cry famously began its life as an early prototype for Resident Evil 4 before evolving into its own franchise. Though the series has been dormant since 2019, its popularity remains high following the success of Devil May Cry 5 (which sold over 11 million copies) and the high viewership of its recent Netflix adaptation.

What to expect from the remake

While details are scarce, industry analysts and insiders suggest the following:

• The Engine: The project is expected to be built using the RE Engine, the same technology powering Capcom’s recent hits.
• The Leadership Vacuum: A major point of uncertainty is the project’s director. Hideaki Itsuno, often considered the “father” of the modern series, recently left Capcom following the launch of Dragon’s Dogma 2. This leaves the franchise without its primary creative lead, causing some initial trepidation among the fanbase.

A massive slate of Resident Evil projects

The Devil May Cry rumor arrives alongside a leaked roadmap for the Resident Evil franchise, which is reportedly moving toward the REX Engine (an evolution of the RE Engine). Upcoming projects include:

• Project Chambers: A remake of Resident Evil 0.
• Project Fallen: A new remake of the original Resident Evil (1).
• Project Redlife: The tenth numbered entry in the series.
• Code: Veronica: Insider DuskGolem claims an updated version of this fan-favorite is also in the works.

Conflicting insider reports

It is worth noting that while the Devil May Cry rumor surfaced from the same sources as the Resident Evil leaks, prominent insider DuskGolem has distanced himself from the DMC claims for now.

In the meantime, Capcom continues to support its latest releases; last week, Resident Evil Requiem received the free “Leon Must Die Forever” mode, signaling that the company is still heavily invested in post-launch content for its current horror catalog.
