Voice Actor From Devil May Cry 4 Gets Asked About A Sequel

At New York Comic-Con earlier this month, prolific voice actor Johnny Yong Bosch (known for roles like Nero in Devil May Cry 4, Protagonist and Adachi in Persona 4, and Kung Jin in Mortal Kombat X) was asked about rumors about a Devil May Cry 5. His reaction, which on paper says nothing, seems to say more on video than he might have wanted to convey.

Bosch has been well-known in the past year to post on social media about performing with Reuben Langdon, the voice and motion capture actor for Dante, as well as many other Capcom characters like Ken Masters and Chris Redfield. The fan anticipation has reached a fever pitch, as Devil May Cry series director Hideaki Itsuno has been teasing, and subsequently apologizing for not revealing, his current project all year.

During the panel, Bosch does not answer, but physically puts his tongue in his cheek and looks away, leading to laughter and applause from the audience. Afterward, he moves on, but he hopefully gave away more than he intended. Check out the video below and decide for yourself if Bosch is being coy.

Capcom has shied away from Devil May Cry in recent years. An attempted series reboot in 2013 was well-liked by critics, but not popular with fans, and failed to outsell Devil May Cry 4. Since then, Capcom has tested the waters with a modern remaster of DMC4, but has not been clear on their plans for the series afterward.

Our Take
I hope Bosch isn't just being funny, but there have been a lot of rumors pointing toward a new Devil May Cry. Ideally, Capcom has been listening to fans.
