"Devil May Cry 5" is said to be in the works, and major details about the game have leaked on the title's fan community. ResetEra user named Son of Sparda has revealed massive information about Hideaki Itsuno's "secret project," and it includes details about its release date, gameplay, cast members, and more.

Son of Sparda claims that Itsuno's secret project is "Devil May Cry 5." Originally, he planned to leak this information after the 2017 PlayStation Experience and Capcom Cup. But as the document started to swirl online, he decided to reveal it earlier than planned.

In the ResetEra forum, he notes that "Devil May Cry 5" might be officially announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2018 and released in between the dates of April 2018 and March 2019. The game is said to be exclusive for PlayStation, although it is not yet confirmed if it will be console or timed exclusive.

Also, Son of Sparda notes that trailer for "Devil May Cry 5" has been ready for a while now and will run for one minute and 50 seconds, although it may be longer if Capcom decides to make an extended version. Here, fans will see the game's story, cast members, and some cutscenes.

Talking about the cast, the leak reveals that Reuben Langdon will return as Dante, Dan Southworth as Vergil, and Johnny Yong Bosch as Nero. However, it is not yet confirmed if the actresses who portrayed Trish and Lady will reprise their roles.

"Devil May Cry 5" is said to pick up where its predecessor left off. It has been said that up to three characters will be playable and two of them are Dante and Nero. Although the third one is said to be powerful, it is not yet known who will it be.

The antagonists will be facing the Prince of Darkness, although there are no words yet if it will be Mundus or a new character. The new installment will be more personal to Dante. In fact, a new side of him will be seen. As Vergil returns, there will be a scene between him and Dante where they will be confirming their real relationship as father and son.
