Hideki Kamiya Wants To Do Devil May Cry Remake

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

In a video posted on his YouTube channel on May 8, Kamiya engaged with fans about potential remakes and sequels. When asked about his thoughts on a Devil May Cry remake, he responded enthusiastically, stating, "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, the project evolved significantly, leading Capcom to birth the Devil May Cry series instead.

Reflecting on the game's creation nearly 25 years later, Kamiya shared the personal inspiration behind Devil May Cry. He revealed that in 2000, a painful breakup left him in a state of depression, fueling the fiery passion that became the essence of the game.

Kamiya admits he rarely replays his own games post-release, including Devil May Cry. Yet, when he occasionally encounters gameplay clips, he acknowledges the game's age and its design from 24 years ago. If given the opportunity to remake it, Kamiya is clear about his approach: he would construct the game entirely from scratch, leveraging today’s advanced technology and contemporary game design principles.

While the idea of a Devil May Cry remake isn't constantly on his mind, Kamiya is ready to step up if the project materializes. He confidently stated, "But if the time comes— I’ll come up with something. That’s what I do." In addition to Devil May Cry, Kamiya also expressed interest in remaking another of his creations, Viewtiful Joe.

With these insights, fans of Kamiya's work eagerly anticipate the potential revival of these cherished titles through modern remakes.
