Capcom might be preparing a remake of the first Devil May Cry, following in the footsteps of the successful Resident Evil remakes. Industry sources indicate that the project would be in early stages of development. The news has generated excitement among fans of the saga, who are hoping for a modern revision of the title that redefined the action genre in 2001. If confirmed, it would be a logical move to revitalize a franchise that has gone years without a main installment.
The RE Engine and the return of style on wheels 🎮
The remake would use the RE Engine, the graphics engine that Capcom has employed in the Resident Evil remakes. This would allow maintaining the frenetic gameplay and combo-based combat system, but with smoother animations and improved dynamic lighting. The key to the project would be preserving the essence of the original, with its style and soundtrack, while updating the controls and camera to adapt to current standards. No drastic changes to the narrative are expected.
Dante will insult demons again, but with better hair 🔥
What nobody wants is for Capcom to get too clever. If the Resident Evil 3 remake taught us anything, it's that cutting content to save costs feels like a kick in the shin. Dante will still be a smart-mouth in a leather coat, but fans fear they might add a stealth system or that the pizza joke will last shorter than a shampoo ad. Meanwhile, we'll keep dreaming of a version where the outfit doesn't creak when moving.
