Capcom has confirmed that Devil May Cry 5 is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, with the port scheduled to arrive on June 23, 2026.
The announcement was part of June's Nintendo Direct presentation, which also highlighted other Capcom projects destined for the new hardware.
Devil May Cry 5 originally launched in March 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows, and later received a Special Edition release for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in January 2021.
What the Switch 2 release includes
Capcom’s Switch 2 version of Devil May Cry 5 will ship with the Special Edition content that added Vergil as a playable character to next‑gen releases, and the company has targeted a 60 frames per second experience in both docked and handheld modes on Switch 2.
During Nintendo Direct, the presentation emphasized that the port aims to deliver the responsiveness and visual fidelity players expect from action titles on the new Nintendo hardware.
Gameplay and characters
Devil May Cry 5 reunites Dante with DMC4 protagonist Nero and expands the roster with V, a character who summons three demons to fight on his behalf.
Nero differentiates himself through his Devil Breaker prosthetic arms, which provide varied combat options and temporary boosts to his swordplay.
Dante remains the game’s stylish centerpiece, switching between multiple combat styles and weapon sets.
The Special Edition adds Vergil, a high‑speed, precision‑focused fighter who was included in the next‑gen upgrades.
A rewritten summary of the Nintendo Direct messaging
Capcom signaled a clear commitment to bringing core entries and next‑gen updates to Nintendo’s latest hardware, with Devil May Cry 5 joining recent Switch 2 announcements such as Monster Hunter Wilds and Dragon’s Dogma 2.
The company positioned these ports as part of an expanded strategy to support Switch 2 with both new and legacy franchises.
Release and where to buy
Devil May Cry 5 for Nintendo Switch 2 releases on June 23, 2026, and will be available through Nintendo eShop and retail partners.
Players looking for the full next‑gen experience should note the game’s 60fps target and the inclusion of Special Edition content, which aligns the Switch 2 release with other current‑generation versions.
For fans tracking Switch 2 software, the June Nintendo Direct offered a concentrated look at how third‑party publishers like Capcom plan to support the platform with both remasters and recent titles, making the summer lineup one of the more notable windows for the new hardware.
