It’s been a good year so far for Capcom, as the Japanese developer first struck gold in January after re-releasingResident Evil 2to universal praise and is poised to once again hit it big with theMonster Hunter World: Iceborneexpansion next month. To the surprise of many,Devil May Cry 5also became a huge seller and has seemingly pushed the company to work on a sequel.
While nothing official has come from Capcom, its plans for the future ofDevil May Crymay have leaked early thanks to Dante’s voice actor at the recent Anime Festival Orlando 2019. Towards the end of a panel that many of the voice actors were holding, Reuben Langdon asked that all fans put away their phones as he had an exclusive announcement to show off with permission from Capcom.

What happened next isn’t known as that portion of the panel is under NDA, meaning no one can legally discuss what was shown. The panel itself was captured and posted to Facebook by Daniel Southworth, voice actor of Vergil fromDevil May Cry 5. The moment comes right at the end, though the footage is cut before anything meaningful is shown or said regarding the announcement.
The timing of this announcement is interesting as its pretty early to be announcing or showing off a sequel. While it’s still possible that this announcement could be for a new entry down the road, the idea that it could be DLC is starting to pick up steam. Although Capcom has previously stated thatDevil May Cry 5wouldn’t be getting any more content past the Bloody Palace update, datamining efforts have seeminglyrevealed a fourth playable character. Whatever happens next is only known to those in the audience until Capcom releases the footage, but either way, there does appear to be moreDevil May Crycoming.
Devil May Cry 5is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One
