So this is a theory I've had for a few weeks, but its one that I can't help but think about;
What if the story for Devil May Cry 5 is actually the ideas Ninja Theory had for the potential DmC2 that they wanted to develop?
Like Nero's design looking close to DmC Dante's design couldn't just be coincidence.
From the boots, to the hooded coat, and obviously the hair. I really do believe that DmC2's new design of Dante would've been this exact design, but with a different color coat, and the red amulet around his neck.
But to go into the story; basically its about Nero traveling around the world to kill demons in a sort of travel van.
A while back, Ninja Theory talked about what the future of DmC would've been like had they been able to do their sequel. They explained that for a sequel, Dante would've been older and he would've traveled around the world fighting the remaining demons and once again fighting his brother Vergil. There would've been more angel appearances as well.
So with DMC5, I believe they've taken this idea and applied it to DMC5 with the whole traveling around the world idea, while also using Vergil as a goal for Nero to achieve. Similar to DmC Dante fighting his brother from controlling the world.
I seriously believe that the story that is going to be used for DMC5 is what NT was going to do for DmC2. Maybe Capcom asked them to make some idea as to what they would want for a DmC2 as they came to finishing the first DmC. Then when DmC didn't meet those expectations, Capcom bought the rights to DmC, and therefore the ideas for DmC2 to adapt to DMC5.
What do you guys think?
