Devil May Cry 6: 5 Potential Plotlines
Even though Devil May Cry isn’t getting much attention right now, Capcom’s other series leave a lot to be desired for the sixth game.
Fans are looking forward to Hideaki Itsuno’s Dragon’s Dogma 2, so many people are wondering what this might mean for Devil May Cry 6. Which is the next game in the famous hack-and-slash series. Since the same person who made Dragon’s Dogma 2 also made the Devil May Cry series and most recently the popular Devil May Cry 5, fans may have to wait a long time for a new game.
Taking this into account, Capcom could very well have a lot of plots and stories in store for players when the time comes. This is especially true after the ending of Devil May Cry 5, which left fans wanting more.
Dante & Vergil In Hell
At the end of Devil May Cry 5, there was a hint that Dante and Vergil, who are twins, might get back together. This has made many people even more curious about their relationship. Other than when they were young, the brothers have spent most of their lives apart. Their different goals and reasons have always put them against each other.
Now that the two are stuck in hell and Nero has made his father and uncle stop fighting. It would make sense for Capcom to pick up right where the last game left off. This could give fans a new story, with Dante and Vergil finally acting like brothers instead of enemies. Since previous games in the series have kept up with the brothers’ long-running feud in one way or another, Devil May Cry 6 would be the best chance to finally make this better.
Nero Replacing Dante
Dante’s last words to Nero before leaving with Vergil at the end of Devil May Cry 5 were a clear hint that Nero would now take on the part of Dante and run his “Devil May Cry” Devil hunting business. Even though it might be hard for players to accept a Devil May Cry game where they can’t play as Dante. Devil May Cry 4 and 5 show that Capcom has been working on making Nero the new lead character.
Given how much time players have spent with Nero through the first two games in the series and how much he has grown in terms of strength and maturity, it wouldn’t be surprising if Devil May Cry 6 put players in the role of Nero, a much stronger and more dangerous Devil Hunter.
Prequel
Fans could be in for a flashback, just like the third book in the series did. Devil May Cry 1 and 2 put Dante right in the middle of hunting demons. It wasn’t until Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening came out that the story came full circle. It not only helped fans understand what happened in the first game and who Nelo Angelo was. But it also showed them a younger Dante on his way to becoming the famous Devil Hunter he is known as.
With Devil May Cry 6, Capcom can finally answer one of the biggest questions about the series. Which is how Sparda died. Some fans would be upset to see Devil May Cry without its main characters, Nero and Dante. But it would let us learn more about what happened before the Sparda twins became who they are now.
Nero Seeks His Mother
Fans wouldn’t expect the sixth episode to be about finding Nero’s mother. Since she was never in the story at all, but this is not impossible. Fans may not see much of a reason to this addition. Since it might not be important to the story or Nero’s character at all. But it could be important for Nero to understand where he came from.
Even though fans guessed that Vergil was Nero’s father and Capcom gave hints about it in 8 Ball Pool, many people still wonder who his real mother is. Some even think it could be one of the characters fans already know. It probably won’t be the main point of a new episode. But it would be great if this was brought up in some way.
Dante, Nero & Vergil Reunion
Devil May Cry 6 is expected to have all three of its main characters get back together at some point in the story, just like its predecessor. Character arcs and gameplay in 5 were set up so that players could get used to controlling Nero and V for a big part of the game’s beginning before taking control of Dante again. This meant that players had to switch between three different characters in each mission.
If the sixth movie follows the same formula for how it moves. This would be the best way to do it. It would be interesting, to say the least, to see a more grown, powerful. And intimidating Nero reunite with his newfound biological family.
