　　At this point, it’s unknown which version of the game will make its way to Nintendo’s hybrid platform. Back in February of this year, we already covered an interview with Devil May Cry 5 game director Hideaki Itsuno and producer Matt Walker, in which the pair said they would love to play a Devil May Cry game on the Switch.

　　“We haven’t announced anything for Switch, right,” Walker and Itsuno said. “We personally would love to play a Devil May Cry game on [the] Switch.

　　“I’m one of those guys that always, I want to play everything on Switch. I’m always asking for ports.”
