Hideki Kamiya Wants To Do Devil May Cry Remake

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

The gaming industry has seen a surge in remakes of classic titles, spearheaded by legendary developers. From Final Fantasy VII to Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil 4, these remakes have rekindled the love for beloved games. Now, the original Devil May Cry (DMC) could join their ranks, as its creator, Hideki Kamiya, has voiced his desire to remake it.

In a recent video on his YouTube channel dated May 8, Kamiya engaged with fans, discussing potential 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 underwent a significant transformation from its initial concept, leading Capcom to birth DMC in 2001.

As we approach the 25th anniversary of its release, Kamiya reflected on the game's origins. He revealed that a personal heartbreak in 2000 fueled his creative process, channeling his emotions into the game's development.

Kamiya admits he rarely revisits his past works, including DMC. However, occasional glimpses of gameplay footage remind him of the game's age and its design, which he considers somewhat dated by today's standards. Should a remake come to fruition, Kamiya is keen on rebuilding DMC from scratch, leveraging modern technology and contemporary game design principles.

While the project remains in the conceptual stage, Kamiya isn't dwelling on it heavily, as his creative process only kicks into high gear when a project is greenlit. He confidently assures fans that if the time comes, he will rise to the occasion, stating, "But if the time comes— I’ll come up with something. That’s what I do."

Beyond DMC, Kamiya also harbors a desire to remake Viewtiful Joe. With these announcements, fans of his work are buzzing with anticipation, hoping to see these cherished games revitalized for a new generation.
