The gaming world is buzzing with excitement as Hideki Kamiya, the visionary behind the iconic Devil May Cry (DMC), expresses his interest in crafting a remake of the beloved title.

Devil May Cry Remake Will Not Be Made Like 24 Years Ago

The trend of remaking classic games has seen a surge in recent years, with titles like Final Fantasy VII, Silent Hill 2, and Resident Evil 4 receiving modern updates. Now, the original Devil May Cry might join their ranks, as its director, Hideki Kamiya, has voiced his interest in revisiting the game. In a video posted on his YouTube channel on May 8, Kamiya engaged with fans, discussing remakes and sequels. When posed with the idea of remaking DMC, he enthusiastically responded, "A remake like that, well, I would like to do that."

First Released 2001

Originally conceived as Resident Evil 4, Devil May Cry took a dramatic turn from its initial concept, leading Capcom to launch it as a standalone title in 2001. Reflecting on the game's origins, Kamiya shared a personal anecdote from 2000, revealing that a painful breakup fueled his creative process, ultimately giving birth to DMC.

Kamiya admits he rarely revisits his past works, including DMC. However, when he occasionally encounters gameplay clips, he recognizes the game's age and its dated design elements. Should he embark on a DMC remake, Kamiya is clear about his approach: he would construct it entirely from scratch, leveraging contemporary technology and game design philosophies.

While the project remains a distant thought for now, Kamiya is open to the idea, stating, "But if the time comes— I’ll come up with something. That’s what I do." Beyond DMC, Kamiya also harbors ambitions to remake Viewtiful Joe. With these insights, fans of Kamiya's work are eagerly anticipating the potential revival of these cherished games in the form of modern remakes.
