Devil May Cry: 2015?

Capcom, the folks that have so kindly supplied us with so much demon slaying action, have plans on a 2015 release of the newest addition to the Devil May Cry series.

While Capcom has not officially released a new addition to the franchise we have all grown to love, however back in 2012 Capcom revealed that they wanted to keep the time between their major titles to around 2.5 years.  This would put Dante's antics to occur sometime around 2015 or 2016, due to outsourcing game development, with DMC: Devil May Cry running on the Unreal Engine that many 2012 and 2013 releases ran on.

Virgil cannot prevent how badly fans would love to control Dante in a more complex world with even more fluid controls, gameplay and graphics.  With modern technology it would not be strange to imagine any sequel to have some sort of massive online experience.  The PS4 could alter the way we see and play Devil May Cry games, however, Capcom has a feel to their games that fans crave.  If Capcom was to make any possible sequel too different they could risk the fate of the entire franchise.

Personally, I have my fingers crossed for any chance to run around as Dante.  There is something about smashing demons with Arbiter or shooting them to oblivion with Ebony and Ivory.  With releases like WatchDogs and Theif changing the scope of modern games, the comfortable and familiarity of Capcom and their franchises such as Resident Evil and Devil May Cry will be there for gamers of all kinds to relax and obliterate demons and zombies like we have for years.
