The gaming world is buzzing with the possibility of a Devil May Cry remake, as legendary game director Hideki Kamiya has expressed interest in revisiting this classic title. Known for his innovative approach to game design, Kamiya aims to craft a remake that diverges significantly from the original released 24 years ago. This new version would leverage modern technology and game design philosophies, promising an experience that feels fresh yet honors the essence of the original.
Devil May Cry Remake Will Not Be Made Like 24 Years Ago
In an era where remakes of iconic games are becoming increasingly popular, titles such as Final Fantasy VII, Silent Hill 2, and Resident Evil 4 have set high standards. Now, the original Devil May Cry (DMC) could join their ranks, with Kamiya at the helm. In a recent video on his YouTube channel, Kamiya shared his thoughts on remakes and sequels, confirming his interest in a DMC remake. "A remake like that, well, I would like to do that," he stated, sparking excitement among fans.
First Released 2001
Originally conceived as Resident Evil 4, Devil May Cry took a bold new direction upon its release in 2001, becoming a standalone franchise. Kamiya, reflecting on the game's origins, revealed a personal story that fueled its creation. In 2000, following a painful breakup, he channeled his emotions into the game, which became a testament to his resilience and creativity.
Despite not replaying his games after their release, Kamiya occasionally encounters gameplay clips of DMC and acknowledges the game's age and design. If a remake were to materialize, he envisions building it entirely from scratch, incorporating contemporary technology and game design principles. While the project is not currently on his immediate agenda, Kamiya remains 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 expressed interest in remaking Viewtiful Joe. As these plans unfold, fans of Kamiya’s work eagerly anticipate the potential return of these beloved titles, reimagined for today's gaming landscape.
