Reporting from 2 sources: Anime News Network, 4Gamer.net.
Capcom announced Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 during the June 9 Nintendo Direct livestream. The digital version will launch on June 23, 2026, and a physical edition is scheduled for August 28, 2026, in Europe. This edition includes the base game and all previously released downloadable content, such as alternate character colors, Devil Breaker weapons, and battle tracks. The game runs at 60 frames per second in both docked and handheld modes. Devil May Cry 5 originally launched in March 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and received a special edition for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in 2020. The announcement comes amid renewed interest in the franchise following the Netflix animated series, which premiered in April 2025 and has since been renewed for a second and third season.
Capcom developed the original game internally using its proprietary RE Engine, the same engine powering the Resident Evil remakes. The Switch 2 version is a direct port of the 2019 release rather than the 2020 special edition, which added a ray-tracing mode and a Turbo mode on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
During the Nintendo Direct presentation, Capcom showed a trailer highlighting the game's combat and the included DLC. The physical edition is currently confirmed only for Europe, and Capcom has not announced a physical release for other regions. The digital version will be available worldwide through the Nintendo eShop.
The Devil May Cry franchise has a history on Nintendo platforms: the original trilogy was ported to the original Switch in 2020, and a Switch-exclusive co-op mode was added to Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition in a later update. The Netflix animated series, which premiered in April 2025, was produced by Studio Mir and featured the voice cast of Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante, David Vincent as Vergil, and Faye Mata as Lady. The second season debuted on May 12, 2026, and a third and final season has been ordered.
