The first Devil May Cry game came out in 2001, when Japanese games still dominated the Western console business and, to some extent, the minds of Western gamers. The original Devil May Cry was everything hip and trendy about Japanese gaming at the time: challenging, innovative, and stylish in the over-the-top tradition of Japanese animation, which also enjoyed a tremendous surge of popularity at the time.
Devil May Cry 5 surpasses 10 million sales as Netflix animated series drives major surge in franchise popularity.
It's been six years since Capcom dropped Devil May Cry 5, but it's still more than worth replaying in 2025 thanks to its rich gameplay.
Because the anime is on Netflix and we gotta ride that DMC in the news again wave.
It’s been sitting in my backlog for a while now. One of the first games I wanted to try for this current gen due to the long load times of previous gen. I’ll get around to it soon!
One of the best, stylish, and fun action slasher on the system. You definitely should get to it, as soon as you can.
The DMC5 team went on to make Dragons Dogma 2, the DMC director (3,4,5) left capcom to make an action game at another studio and the rumor is that a DMC remake is next...so i wouldn't hold my breath on DMC6.
Everytime its on sale I think about buying it but never do. I only played the orginal and somr of 3 so I guess that's part of it.
Steam's Summer Sale looks primed for Steam Deck players - with a huge collection of titles on offer for the handheld.
Nope
Looking awesome
The game didn't need rebooting, the game needs Kamiya and Platinum Games.
Fact is Capcom cannot make a good Devil May Cry game or DMC game even if they tried.
As long as I get another Bayonetta, the true successor to Devil May Cry and Dante, I will be happy. From the look of things, there will not be a proper Devil May Cry with the original Dante for a long time to come.
