When he\u2019s not clapping back at trolls or blocking fans for tweeting at him in English, he\u2019s gushing about Gunpla and occasionally providing insights on his projects, both past and present.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While he normally blocks fans who ask him questions about franchises he\u2019s no longer involved with (Resident Evil, Devil May Cry), he actually opened up about his work with DMC in a rare moment of goodwill \u2014 and it\u2019s sending players into a frenzy.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition PlayStation 5 Showcase Screenshots<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hideki-kamiya-gives-fans-hope-that-he-will-direct-another-devil-may-cry-game.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3027214138 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\"><\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">On August 9, 2026, a fan asked him a lore-specific question regarding the final boss in the first Devil May Cry game, innocently tagging Kamiya and tempting fate that the director would make his usual liberal use of the block button.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cI&#8217;m playing through DMC1 right now and always wondered: What is the lore behind the DT dragon in the fight against Mundus? Is it the same as Vergil creating swords with his aura, or is it a familiar? Something else? Can you elaborate on this, please?\u201d the fan asked.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Surprisingly, Kamiya gave them a legitimate answer \u2014 one that shed some long-awaited light on the potential future of the franchise.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u50d5\u304c\u518d\u3073DMC\u30b7\u30ea\u30fc\u30ba\u3092\u4f5c\u308b\u6642\u306b\u660e\u3089\u304b\u306b\u306a\u308b\u3067\u3057\u3087\u3046\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/H3cu0bgqWf<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u795e\u8c37\u82f1\u6a39\ud83c\udf40 Hideki Kamiya\ud83c\udf40 (@HidekiKamiya_X) August 9, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cIt will become clear when I make the DMC series again\u2026\u201d he said, simply and mysteriously. He hasn\u2019t offered any substantial follow-ups to this comment (only hitting back at a critic for explaining his own game to him), leaving the door wide open for speculation that he might return to Devil May Cry in the near future.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Of course, fans have wasted no time taking his post and running with it, sparking an endless flood of memes and excited, all-caps quote-retweets. (My personal favorite has to be the meme of Dante getting injected with a giant syringe full of Hopium, but the one of Kratos pleading with Ares is also pretty good.)<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\">https:\/\/t.co\/hz0qK7n29y pic.twitter.com\/VIC21B84hD<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \ud83d\udc2e yutaliban \ud83d\udc2e (@nappingbitch) August 9, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\">https:\/\/t.co\/M0h3oR0ULs pic.twitter.com\/sK3kLku8ST<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SRM | Le\u2019Mon (@EJ_The_Lemon) August 9, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cHe said, \u2018When I return to doing DMC,\u2019 instead of, \u2018If I return to doing DMC,\u2019\u2019 one fan speculated. \u201cKamiya knows something, but I can&#8217;t prove it\u2026 As long as he comes back for nothing more than a purely hypothetical Remake of DMC1, there&#8217;s no problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cKamiya is really talking about DMC1!? So he hasn&#8217;t completely forgotten about his license after all,\u201d another wrote.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cBro did not say \u2018If,\u2019 he said \u2018When!\u2019\u201d another pointed out.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As previously mentioned, Kamiya is generally combative when fans ask him questions about his previous works that are no longer under his purview. Resident Evil and Devil May Cry belong to Capcom, after all, a company he hasn\u2019t worked for in over a decade. However, he has struck up a partnership with them again for the forthcoming Okami sequel, as told in our exclusive interview with him in February 2025.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For now, the future of Devil May Cry is looking just a little bit brighter. This, combined with the Netflix show getting renewed for a third and final season (resulting in a significant boost in game sales), fans are more hopeful than ever that the long DMC drought will soon be over.\n<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Virginia (she\/her) is IGN\u2019s News Editor.
