Capcom has officially confirmed Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition for Nintendo Switch 2, announcing a release date of June 23, 2026 during an ongoing Nintendo Direct.
The Switch 2 edition marks Devil May Cry's first official appearance on a Nintendo platform since the series launched on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
Originally released in 2019, Devil May Cry 5 arrived on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC and established itself as the benchmark for contemporary stylized action.
The new Devil Hunter Edition brings that core experience to Nintendo's next-generation hardware; Capcom credited director Hideaki Itsuno and the original development team with returning to deliver a technically ambitious version that emphasizes high-octane combat and photorealistic presentation powered by Capcom's in-house RE Engine.
In journalistic terms, Capcom framed the Devil Hunter Edition as a return to the series' signature blend of over-the-top action, new technical fidelity and original character work, with the core creative team aiming to present one of the most advanced action experiences of the current console generation.
Story and gameplay details included in Capcom's announcement reiterate the familiar Devil May Cry 5 narrative: a demonic incursion rooted in a 'demon tree' threatens Red Grave City, driving demon hunter Nero — now partnered with weapons artisan Nico and traveling in the Devil May Cry motorhome — into conflict.
The game continues to feature three playable protagonists with distinct combat styles: Nero, Dante and the enigmatic new character V.
Notable gameplay elements include Nero's loss of his right arm and the introduction of mechanically designed Devil Breaker prosthetics, as well as set-piece boss encounters against foes such as the flying Empusa and the colossal Goliath.
Key technical and design highlights confirmed by Capcom include the use of the RE Engine for high-fidelity visuals, stylized, combo-driven combat across multiple playable characters, and large-scale boss battles supported by a curated soundtrack.
Capcom did not provide pricing or full distribution details during the Direct, and it remains to be seen whether launch-day availability will include the Nintendo eShop listing.
More coverage and footage from Nintendo Direct is available through official Nintendo and Capcom channels.
