A new rumor suggests that Capcom plans to bring Devil May Cry 5 on Nintendo Switch 2. Since its launch last June, the Nintendo Switch 2 has seen a number of ports of third-party games that weren't possible on the original Switch. Publishers have been playing catch-up since the launch of the system, bringing games like Star Wars: Outlaws, Final Fantasy 7: Remakeand Cyberpunk 2077. If it was released on PlayStation or Xbox in the last few years and missed the Switch, it seems like there's a good chance it's coming to the Nintendo Switch 2.
Right from the start, Capcom seems to be one of the biggest supporters of the Nintendo Switch 2. The publisher released a few games for the original Switch, but the vast majority were compilations or ports of significantly older games. This situation has changed drastically in a short time, such as newer games Resident Evil Village and Street Fighter 6 is being ported to Switch 2, while brand new titles like Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmatics are set to arrive on the same day they launch on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Additionally, Capcom has teamed up with Nintendo on several amiibo figures for its Switch 2 games.
On YouTube, leaker Nate the Hate claimed that Capcom plans to bring Devil May Cry 5 on Nintendo Switch 2. The 2019 Capcom game debuted on PC, PS4 and Xbox One and was very well received upon its release. Devil May Cry 5 sold more than 10 million copies and won several awards as well. While Capcom hasn't confirmed the game for the Nintendo Switch 2, it would make sense for several reasons.
In addition Devil May Cry 5 is already a popular entry in the series, Capcom also released several DMC games on the original Switch. After Nate the Hate's new video was uploaded, a leak from Taiwan's ratings board was discovered, which also suggests that Devil May Cry 5 is coming to Nintendo Switch 2. This makes the rumor all the more credible, but fans of the series should wait for confirmation from Capcom before getting too excited.
The game features several playable characters, including Dante, Nero, and VA Devil May Cry 5 special edition added Vergil as the fourth playable character in 2020 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This content will likely be offered from the start on the Nintendo Switch 2, similar to how Capcom treated ports like Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Devil May Cry 5 is the latest numbered entry, and Capcom has been silent on the future of the series ever since.
Over the past few years, there has been speculation that a sixth DMC game is in development. Bringing Devil May Cry 5 on the Switch 2 could be a smart way for Capcom to start building interest, especially if a potential DMC 6 should be released on Nintendo's new system alongside the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The reputation of Devil May Cry 5 was revealed as part of Nate the Hate's broader discussion of games coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 for the rest of 2026. In addition to Capcom's 2019 game, there's a new Star Fox and a remake of it Ocarina of Time is rumored for the Nintendo Switch 2. If all these leaks prove to be accurate, Nintendo Switch 2 owners should be quite happy with the system build. For now, fans will have to wait patiently to see what Nintendo and its partners reveal. However, it looks like the rest of 2026 could reward those who upgraded from the original Switch.
