"Devil May Cry 6: Release Rumors and Speculations"

The future of the Devil May Cry series hangs in the balance following the departure of its long-time director, Hideaki Itsuno, after over 30 years with Capcom. Fans are eager to know if there will be a Devil May Cry 6. Let's explore why we believe another installment is not only possible but highly likely.

Will Capcom Make Another Devil May Cry Game?

Very Likely, Even Without Itsuno At the Helm

The departure of Hideaki Itsuno, the director behind Devil May Cry 3, 4, and 5, has sparked concerns about the future of the series. However, despite his exit, the chances of a Devil May Cry 6 being developed remain strong. In fact, it's possible that work on the next game may already be underway, albeit without Itsuno's direct involvement.

The Devil May Cry franchise has experienced its share of highs and lows. Originally conceived as a Resident Evil game, the first title became a surprise hit. The second game, which Itsuno was brought in to salvage, was a disappointment, but he redeemed himself with the critically acclaimed Devil May Cry 3. The series faced further challenges with the troubled development of Devil May Cry 4 and the controversial DmC reboot. Yet, each setback was followed by a triumphant return, culminating in the success of Devil May Cry 5.

While some may view Itsuno's departure as a potential end for the series, this is far from the truth. Devil May Cry remains one of Capcom's most popular, bestselling, and beloved franchises. The success and resurgence of the series, particularly with Devil May Cry 5 and its Special Edition, which introduced Vergil and his iconic theme song "Bury the Light," cannot be ignored. The song has amassed over 110 million plays on Spotify and an unofficial YouTube upload has garnered 132 million views, underscoring the franchise's enduring appeal.

In conclusion, given the franchise's strong performance and cultural impact, it would be a missed opportunity for Capcom not to continue the Devil May Cry saga. A sixth installment is not just likely; it's almost a certainty.
