Rumour: Devil May Cry Remake Supposedly Outed by Vergil Voice Actor | Push Square
Rumours of a Devil May Cry remake have just been given a significant boost, thanks to comments made by Vergil voice actor Daniel Southworth.
Southworth was part of a Devil May Cry anniversary panel at Power Morphicon 2024, which took place in August of last year. However, as spearheaded by The Nerd Stash, the footage is only just being reported on now, over five months later.
«In fact, I just finished a video game three or four weeks ago,» says Southworth. «I don't want to say any titles or anything 'cause I'm known for spilling the beans… but they asked me to do my voice the way it was back in 2004 or whatever.»
He continues: "[They asked] 'Can you do the younger Vergil version?' So that was challenging."
Naturally, Southworth's comments suggest that some kind of Devil May Cry remake is happening, with him cast as a younger version of recurring antagonist Vergil.
But at this point, we need to make it clear that Southworth has done voicework in plenty of other video games not called Devil May Cry. It's entirely possible that he's actually referring to a completely separate project in which he was simply asked to perform a younger-sounding Vergil voice.
As such, it's hard to put too much stock into this particular rumour. That said, Capcom's made a habit of remaking classic games in recent years — Resident Evil being the obvious example — and Devil May Cry 5 was a bit of a blockbuster for the company, so the idea of an RE Engine remake of the first title, or prequel Devil May Cry 3, doesn't seem especially farfetched.
Nobody likes hearing it, but this is one of things where we'll just have to wait and see what happens. Capcom's release schedule is looking fairly solid at the minute, with Monster Hunter Wilds fast approaching and a brand new Onimusha pencilled in for 2026 — and you can probably bet on a new Resident Evil being announced this year as well.
What do you make of this rumour? Do you think Southworth's actually hinting at a Devil May Cry remake, or is it
