Capcom’s Christian Svensson recently made a short comment regarding the death threats Ninja Theory have been receiving for developing the upcoming DmC: Devil May Cry.

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!
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.
There's a huge difference between being passionate about a franchise you like and making death threats because you don't like the direction a game studio is taking that franchise. Yet this isn't surprising. Not when you hear the comments people make on online services like XBOX Live and PSN. Would people be so bold if the comments were attached to your personal Facebook account? Anonymity shelters them, that's why they act the way they do.
"Whatcha gana do Capcom, get Megaman on us?!?"
While the death threats are extreme.
Capcom and Ninja Theory should just focus on the game.
But judging by the news reports, they have taken the fan back-lash to heart. And this shows, with changes to the games story last year, and the introduction of emo Dantes' 'Devil mode'.
If Capcom gave a crap about DMC, they'd be developing this game themselves, or chosen a capable developer like Kojima did with Metal Gear Rising (MGR).
In my opinion, Capcom are about to learn an important lesson. "Don't f*ck with the fan base".
Publicity stunt at its finest. NT have been a bunch of attention seeking morons since day one. Capcom been a bunch of saps this generation. MML says hi. Screw you NT, screw you Capcom. Release this title and lets see if you can put your money where your mouth is...
