At E3 2018 Capcom finally dropped a trailer for Devil May Cry 5, which raised a few questions about what direction the series might be heading in. While Capcom is hyping the game as a true successor to Devil May Cry 1 through 4, the trailer’s smart-ass, edgy tone (and Nero’s brushcut) brings to mind the 2013 Ninja-Theory-developed DmC: Devil May Cry.

So, is Devil May Cry 5 the sequel to the older games fans have been waiting for, or is secretly more of a follow up to DmC: Devil May Cry? Well, it’s kind of both. In an interview with VG247, Capcom producer Matt Walker stated the publisher was proud of DmC and applying lessons learned during its development to the new Devil May Cry.
