Will there be a DMC 5?

Even if Capcom were to make a sequel it would likely have to be open world and have RPG elements to appeal to gamers but that sits entirely against the core philosophies of the game, as unlike most other games with shallow combat having apparent depth through stats in Devil May Cry it has always been about the mechanical skills of the players like fighting games and those don't do too well either. Still fighting games have more appeal than hack and slash games so I don't think Devil May Cry 5 will happen.

Im failing to see how you think any of this matters to the success of DMC5.

Besides rumours have it that Sony might be helping with finance so there is that. Or possibly Sony has a marketing deal in place which means they will market it as well which takes a massive financial strain off Capcom.

I can see it happening if Sony supports them but why would they. They gain nothing from supporting Devil May Cry as its not a system seller franchise that it was. Street Fighter and Monster Hunter made sense, Devil May Cry doesn't make any sense at all.

The things I said matter because fans expect certain things from the series and we know what happens when they don't get exactly what they want. Look up DmC. The thing is expanding the appeal of the series has worked against it in the past and the current fanbase isn't big enough for a AAA budget.
