Devil May Cry 5 will be ported on Switch in one condition

Devil May Cry 5 is the hottest game right now and many PS4, Xbox One, and PC owners are pretty much enjoying it except for those who only have a Nintendo Switch. Hoping that Capcom will release it at some point, there’s actually a possibility if one condition is met.

In an interview with Devil May Cry 5’s director, Hideaki Itsuno in a German Magazine called M! Games, he stated that a Switch version will be considered in one condition – that’s if Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen on the Switch will sell well.

“We started the development of Devil May Cry 5 when we didn’t have the Nintendo Switch development kit. Because of that, we concentrated on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC versions, but if Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen sells well on the Switch, then we might consider porting DMC5.” – Hideaki Itsuno via M! Games Magazine

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen will be releasing for the Switch in several weeks worldwide. If fans indeed support this game, there is a huge possibility that Switch owners might see Dante. With so many games that have been ported for the Nintendo Switch, it’s not really surprising if Devil May Cry 5 or previous DMC games will make its way later this year.

The Devil you know returns in this brand new entry in the over-the-top action series available on the PC. Prepare to get downright demonic with this signature blend of high-octane stylized action and otherworldly & original characters the series is known for. Director Hideaki Itsuno and the core team have returned to create the most insane, technically advanced and utterly unmissable action experience of this generation!

The threat of demonic power has returned to menace the world once again in Devil May Cry 5. The invasion begins when the seeds of a “demon tree” take root in Red Grave City. As this hellish incursion starts to take over the city, a young demon hunter Nero, arrives with his partner Nico in their “Devil May Cry” motorhome. Finding himself without the use of his right arm, Nero enlists Nico, a self-professed weapons artist, to design a variety of unique mechanical Devil Breaker arms to give him extra powers to take on evil demons such as the blood sucking flying Empusa and giant colossus enemy Goliath.
