Hideki Kamiya hints at potential return to Devil May Cry series

Hideki Kamiya, the director of the original Devil May Cry, has fueled speculation regarding a potential return to the franchise following a cryptic response on X. On August 9, 2026, a fan asked Kamiya for clarification on specific lore involving a dragon in the first game's final boss fight.

Kamiya responded, ‘It will become clear when I make the DMC series again...’ The phrasing, specifically using ‘when’ rather than ‘if,’ has led fans to speculate that a new project or a remake of the 2001 classic may be in development.

While Capcom has not made any official announcements, rumors of a remake have circulated among industry insiders. Kamiya is currently understood to be working on a sequel to Okami, meaning any involvement with Devil May Cry would likely follow that project.
