Devil May Cry 5 plans are still up in the air, in spite of reports that Capcom is developing it, but a new Kickstarter plan might bring the Metroid, Mega Man, and Devil May Cry-inspired 2D action platformer Beyond-Human to Windows, Mac, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita.

Capcom reportedly confirmed that Devil May Cry 5 would be ready for 2015 but Ninja Theory reportedly said they won't be working on a sequel to the Devil May Cry reboot due to continued work on their new IP, Hellblade.

Years ago, Capcom chairman and CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto reportedly told investors "We want to reduce the time needed to develop major titles from the usual three-to-four years to only 2.5 years. Speeding up development will probably raise the cost. But creating quality content will be vital to Capcom's ability to survive by overcoming intense global competition."

Dualshockers reported that Ninja Theory only promised the return of Devil May Cry "Maybe one day".

DmC: Devil May Cry is an action-adventure hack and slash video game developed by Ninja Theory and published by Capcom for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows. JapNation AniManga reported that the plot for Devil May Cry 5 might be set after the events of Devil May Cry 4 where an older Nero is looking for Dante after his disappearance in Devil May Cry 2.
