Hideki Kamiya Hints at Potential Return to Devil May Cry

Hideki Kamiya, the director of the original Devil May Cry, offered a cryptic but tantalizing clue about a possible return to the franchise. A fan’s question about the lore behind the DT dragon in the first game prompted Kamiya to respond with, ‘It will become clear when I make the DMC series again…’

Kamiya’s Unexpected Response

The brief statement, posted on X/Twitter, has ignited fervent speculation among fans that Kamiya might be considering a return to Devil May Cry. Kamiya is known for blocking fans who inquire about projects he’s no longer involved with, but he surprisingly answered the fan’s question about the game’s lore.

Fan Reaction and Speculation

The comment has spurred a wave of memes and excited reactions online, with fans interpreting Kamiya’s words as a strong indication of a potential future project. One popular meme depicts Dante receiving a ‘Hopium’ injection, while another features Kratos pleading with Ares. Many fans are noting the difference between saying ‘if’ versus ‘when’ regarding his return, suggesting he’s confident in a potential return.

Previous Involvement and Capcom

Kamiya’s previous work with Capcom on Resident Evil and Devil May Cry dates back over a decade. Despite this, the fan’s question prompted a rare moment of openness from the director, leaving the possibility of a Devil May Cry return firmly on the table.
