Capcom’s flagship action series Devil May Cry has generated fresh chatter about a possible remake after a high-profile rumor resurfaced on social media.
Devil May Cry first launched on PlayStation 2 in 2001 and has since become one of Capcom’s most recognizable franchises, with Devil May Cry 5 arriving in 2019 and later receiving an upgraded Special Edition for current-generation consoles.
Capcom has also established a strong track record with remakes, most notably Resident Evil 2 (2019), Resident Evil 3 (2020) and Resident Evil 4 (2023).
A leaker posting under the handle Just Your Average on X said that a Devil May Cry remake is “pretty deep in development” at Capcom and suggested a trailer could surface soon, possibly timed with a major show like the Tokyo Game Show.
Reporters and readers should treat that as an unverified claim: Capcom has not issued an official announcement confirming a Devil May Cry remake or any associated marketing plans.
Separately, fans have pointed out an easter-egg-like detail in recent material connected to Capcom’s remake projects.
Observers noticed a cigarette pack bearing the name "Vergil" in the debut trailer for the Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake, which some interpreted as a deliberate reference to Capcom’s Devil May Cry character Vergil.
That observation has been widely shared online but does not constitute formal confirmation of any crossover or related project from Capcom.
What is verifiable: Capcom has repeatedly invested in remakes and reimaginings of its legacy properties, and the company regularly showcases new and returning projects at major industry events, including Tokyo Game Show.
Fans interested in confirmed news should monitor Capcom’s official channels and event showcases such as Nintendo Direct segments where third-party publishers sometimes make platform announcements for the Nintendo Switch and other systems, and keep an eye on Capcom’s eShop listings for platform-specific releases.
Until Capcom makes an official statement, reports about a Devil May Cry remake remain rumors and fan observations.
Journalists and industry watchers should rely on confirmations from Capcom for release dates, platform availability, and marketing plans.
