Dengeki Online interviews Devil May Cry 5’s producers Matthew Walker and Maki Okab, along with director Hideaki Izuno.
A ton of tidbits are dropped, particularly by Itsuno: Dante has a beard for a “reason” besides his age, “V,” the third playable character likely doesn’t use weapons, Kyrie seems to be involved, and the focus has once again turned back to just demons — no “third party” of heaven is involved, the narrative will mostly involve Nero, but Dante and V will play a “big role” and it’s going to be an emotional story — Itsuno even goes so far as to say that people will cry.
