Kamiya: I would do a new Devil May Cry if the fans wanted it

Devil May Why?

Earlier this week at Tokyo Game Show, Capcom unveiled a slew of games, ranging from new IPs, such as Asura's Wrath, to franchise sequels, like Steel Battalion.

One title that fans met with animosity, though, was the reboot of the Devil May Cry franchise. While the game, developed by Ninja Theory, still follows series protagonist Dante, the iconic character has been subjected to a significant face lift. Gamers' reactions to the redesigned Dante has largely been negative.

The outburst has led many fans to wonder if former Capcom employee and Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya would ever revisit the franchise. One follower asked Kamiya through Twitter, " If in the future you were offered [the chance] to develop a new Devil May Cry, what would you say?" to which Kamiya responded affirmatively in truncated English "I want to do what all fans want."

Kamiya currently works at Platinum Games, which is comprised of several ex-Capcom employees. The Japanese studio is working on Vanquish, which is slated to hit next month.
