Rumours of a Devil May Cry, Fortnite crossover have been swirling since 2023, but at long last, the Son of Sparda and friends seem set to arrive in 2025. That's according to credible leakers in the community (thanks, Eurogamer), who say that Capcom's iconic IP is "coming soon" to Epic's ongoing multiverse.
Outside of that, details are nearly non-existent. There are plenty of iconic characters, weapons, and outfits from the DMC series that could come over, with Epic spoiled for choice. We'll have to wait and see what comes of this one as the year progresses.
The series' last mainline was Devil May Cry 5, released in 2019. While you might think we're due for another entry, sadly, the next entry will likely lack the soul of previous entries: Director Hideaki Itsuno developed Dragon's Dogma 2 in the intervening years and left Capcom after a three-decades-long run in 2024.
In place of another mainline game, will you be keeping an eye out for Fortnite's Devil May Cry crossover? Shed a tear for the end of an era in the comments section below.

Between COD and Fortnite.. nothing is sacred anymore 🫤 They treat pop culture like an exploitable candy store.
Isn’t there another DmC movie or anime coming out soon? Would be a good time. I’m looking forward to it. 👍
Edit: OK just checked April anime on Netflix. New Fortnite season Feb 22 so next one after that would be around April so maybe then? 🤷🏻♂️

This is the stuff we get instead of something good like DMC 6....
"Better than nothing, right?"
Nope! nothing would have been better than this 😕
I don't give a flip about Fortnite. I just want DMC 6. But it's been 5 years since DMC 5 and without Itsuno, i'm ready to think DMC series is pretty much done.
Oh well...i can still replay HD collection, 4 HD, and 5 as well rewatch Madhouse anime or re-read the manga when i missed the series. sigh...
Juanalf took the words right out of my mouth.
I'm still waiting for DMC6, sure its too bad that Itsuno left but Capcom still has many other staff members who could easily take his place. The question is whom they consider to be the one most suited for the role.
I wouldn’t be that worried about a different director taking the reins with Devil May Cry, V already felt like a different series for better and worse so any follow up would likely be similar to that game rather than the original trilogy anyway.
@rjejr nah when stuff leaks with Fortnite it is usually the same week or the following week as they already included the meta data in the update, that is how people discover these things.
No this is definitely not better than nothing I'd rather nothing than the DMC characters appearing in garbage like this. In fact I'd say it's worse than nothing you can't get a new game but oh they characters can appear in this tripe? Yeah no
I hate Fortnite, because of that game is why nearly all online games (even single player games) have a damn BATTLEPASS! There are plenty more reasons why Fortnite is a cancer to gaming, but I don't to rant about it anymore.
Wrong!
Played DMC2 and DMC3 remastered this year, from a low, low low to a high high from the PS2 era.
It's obviously not the DMC news fans are looking for. I don't play Fortnite but if even just one kid who plays Fortnite sees Dante and is like "Who is this Dante guy? He seems really cool! Maybe I'll try his actual game " then it was worth it.
Like it or not, it makes marketing sense to get involved in Fortnite if your looking to grow a fanbase. Plus this shows Capcom still has interest in the IP so I'm cool with it. I'm looking forward to the anime in April too.
We will get DMC6 eventually. Just need to have patience.
@Korgon Someone who gets it. Like Fortnite or not, getting your IP featured is big potential exposure.
I know that is cool to hate Fortnite, but I think it’s a fun and solid casual shooter (and I really don’t like shooters) I would love to play as Dante or Nero. My VBucks are waiting for this and the Final Fantasy collaboration (I already have Solid Snake)
@Oram77 yeah at this point I simply don't take any notice of Fortnite and it's contents until I saw this anyways 🤢🤮
Sigh another franchise going to ruined by Fortnite and have more kids saying that so and so is from Fortnite when they see a new film or game made for the said franchise.
Would have much preferred nothing at all to be honest
“Better than nothing, right?”
No, this is worse than nothing.
Crossovers are one of the lamest things to happen in gaming in recent years, independent from genre.
@Skeletor85 " when stuff leaks with Fortnite "
Wasn't the first person mode that launched recently leaked for like 2 years prior? Plus Godzilla is next Friday, why overshadow Godzilla w/ Dante?
Not saying you're wrong, I've been playing Fornite for 4 years now (dont' tell anyone else in this thread) and I know a lot of this stuff does come out like a week beforehand, but I feel like a lot of it also takes awhile.
I'd release it w/ the Netflix series, though you'll probably turn out right. Or it never happens. (As I wait for the Switch 2 reveal to surely be announced this week for the 100th week in a row)
