After taking a hiatus and a slight detour, Devil May Cry returned earlier this year with the launch of Devil May Cry 5, which came out to strong reviews and solid sales to revive the action series. A post-launch content update, the series’ staple Bloody Palace, came out at the beginning of this month, but it could be the last bit of DLC for the game, as Capcom has indicated earlier..
On Twitter, Producer Matt Walker answered some questions about some of the additions fans are eager to see, specifically a playable version of Vergil, the series’ beloved anti-hero, and a “Ladies Pack” DLC to focus on the female characters that has been in some rumor mills online. Unfortunately, as you can see below, Walker shot down both potential updates, saying the game has no planned post-launch content planned. He didn’t kill all hope, however, saying it would be up to Capcom’s “top people” to be convinced of it.
The series is known for it’s Special Edition releases, with Devil May Cry 3, 4, and the semi-reboot, DmC: Devil May Cry, all getting re-released editions that saw many additions and tinkering to the base gameplay, and with DMC5 paced to potentially be the best-selling game in the franchise, hopefully it’ll see similar treatment as well.
Devil May Cry 5 is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Unfortunately we don't plan on adding any more content to DMC5. In terms of RE, I sure hope there are more titles in the works cause RE2 was a huge success. ^^

Unfortunately dev on DMC5 is finished. I'd personally like to see the ladies playable too. We can only hope that at some point we can convince the people up top that it's worth doing.
