A Devil May Cry remake with Kamiya at the helm could be the perfect excuse to finally give Dante’s iconic red coat a next-gen glow-up. And if Viewtiful Joe tags along, that’s just bonus style points for Capcom’s comeback tour.

Kamiya wanting to remake DMC with modern tech sounds awesome—imagine those stylish combos with today's fluid combat systems. Also, a Viewtiful Joe revival would be the cherry on top for classic Capcom fans.
