[RUMOR] A Devil May Cry 5 Switch Port Just Might Happen
According to a recent interview with Devil May Cry 5 Director Hideaki Itsuno, a port of DMC 5 to the Switch might be possible in the future. It all depends on the success of Dragon's Dogma: the Dark Arisen on Nintendo's hybrid console.
As reported by WWG:
Game Director Hideaki Itsuno recently spoke with M! Games to talk about the future of both Devil May Cry and Dragon's Dogma, mentioning that if the Dark Arisen port sells well on Nintendo's hybrid platform, then the team "might consider porting" Devil May Cry 5.
Given the excitement that fans had when Capcom announced Dragon's Dogma was coming to the Switch, we're not really worried that it won't sell well so the company should just go ahead and start mapping out plans now, because if that's the only thing stopping them – that's nothing.
Switch ports of popular games are often the subject of fan requests, since Nintendo's platform does a solid job of providing the best of the home console and handheld worlds. We've seen quite a few games make a jump to the Switch after finding success on home consoles and PC, so the thought of DMC5 joining those games isn't exactly a surprise.
And with the Bayonetta games on Switch, at least Devil May Cry 5 would be in good company.
