- Capcom seems to be working on a Devil May Cry remake.
- The Vergil voice actor states that he recently worked on a game project requiring him to use younger Vergil’s voice.
- Fans can expect a full remake in line with recent Resident Evil titles.
Devil May Cry is one of Capcom’s biggest IPs today, but the series has yet to see a new entry since 2019. The director responsible for overseeing the franchise over the last two decades, Hideaki Itsuno, also left the studio last year, leaving fans concerned about the future.
Many thought Capcom would be left clueless without Itsuno’s leadership, but it seems the publisher had other plans. According to a new teaser, a Devil May Cry Remake may be in the works.
Why it matters: The original Devil May Cry director already expressed interest in working on a remake, and Capcom has found plenty of success with Resident Evil remakes in recent years.
Daniel Southworth, the voice actor behind the iconic character Vergil, seems to have revealed a new project. Speaking during Power Morphicon 2024, the voice actor discussed the series’ 25th anniversary and spilled the beans on Capcom’s plans.
He remarked that this project involved him voicing a younger Vergil from 2004, which required a different approach. Fans were quick to put two and two together, leading to hope for a fully-fledged remake since Capcom has already expressed interest in giving classic IPs the same treatment as Resident Evil.
They (Capcom) asked me to do my voice the way it was back in 2004. Can you do the younger Vergil version?

The most interesting element of this leak is the fact that it suggests Capcom is remaking the third mainline entry since Vergil was prominently featured in the game as the main antagonist.
While he also made several appearances as Nelo Angelo in the original Devil May Cry, the character’s role was much more limited.
This remake is important since it should help the new development team understand the franchise better without Hideaki Itsuno’s guidance.
In terms of what potential changes, Dante’s on-the-fly style switching from the fourth mainline title will almost certainly return. This feature was already integrated into the Nintendo Switch port of Devil May Cry 3, so it would be a natural fit for a remake.
Overall, the remake is expected to be built from the ground up on the RE Engine, like recent Resident Evil titles.
Fans can also expect subtle changes to the camera since this element has aged worse than the core gameplay itself. Would you play a Devil May Cry remake? Let us know in the comments, and share your wishes for the title on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
