Ituno’s departure from Capcom earlier this year was grim news for many of his fans. He never made it clear that he was completely abandoning game development – on the contrary, he said that he hoped to continue creating fresh and lovely games in his farewell entry – but it left the future of several Capcom IPs in limbo. One of them is Devil May Cry, as Ituno and his team relatively recently released the brilliant game Devil May Cry 5.
