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, with legendary developers breathing new life into games like Final Fantasy VII, Silent Hill 2, and Resident Evil 4. Now, Devil May Cry, the action-packed game directed by Hideki Kamiya, may join this prestigious list. In a video posted on his YouTube channel on May 8, Kamiya responded to fan inquiries about remakes and sequels. When asked about his vision for a Devil May Cry remake, he enthusiastically stated, "A remake like that, well, I would like to do that."

First Released 2001

Originally launched in 2001, Devil May Cry was initially conceived as Resident Evil 4. However, its development took a dramatic turn, leading Capcom to transform it into the standalone title we know today.

Reflecting on the game's origins, Kamiya revealed that the inspiration for Devil May Cry came from a personal heartbreak in 2000. After a significant breakup, he channeled his emotions into creating a game that resonated deeply with players.

Despite his contributions to the gaming world, Kamiya admits he rarely replays his own games, including Devil May Cry. However, occasional glimpses of gameplay remind him of the game's age and its old-school design. Should a remake become a reality, Kamiya is determined to rebuild the game from scratch, leveraging modern technology and contemporary game design principles.

While the idea of a Devil May Cry remake is not currently at the forefront of his mind, Kamiya remains open to the possibility. He confidently asserts, "But if the time comes— I’ll come up with something. That’s what I do." Besides Devil May Cry, Kamiya also expressed interest in remaking Viewtiful Joe, sparking excitement among fans eager to see these cherished titles revitalized.
