"Devil May Cry 5 Sales Hit 10 Million, Fueled by Netflix Anime; What's Next for Devil May Cry 6, Capcom?"

Capcom has announced that *Devil May Cry 5* has reached a major sales milestone of 10 million units sold worldwide. The company credits the recent Netflix anime adaptation for contributing to this impressive achievement, helping push the title past the mark six years after its initial launch.

Originally released in March 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, *Devil May Cry 5* was met with widespread acclaim from both players and critics alike. IGN awarded the game a stellar 9.5, praising its "trio of outstanding combat styles" and calling it a new high bar for the series. The publication also highlighted the game's compelling narrative, noting that it "keeps things interesting along the way."

Now regarded as a blockbuster hit, *Devil May Cry 5* continues to thrive as a catalog title. Capcom stated, “The title has garnered strong support from users due to its exceptional gameplay experience, leading to expanded sales since its release.”

“With the introduction of a new playable character and enhanced story and action elements, the game offered a more advanced experience than ever before. Then, on April 3, 2025, Capcom expanded the franchise further with the release of the *Devil May Cry* animated series on Netflix—an initiative aligned with our Single Content Multiple Usage strategy.

“The series received global critical praise and achieved over 5.3 million views in its first week, ranking fourth worldwide in the 'Shows | English' category and remaining in Japan’s top 10 for seven consecutive days. As a result of the game’s thrilling action and successful brand expansion through media like television, *Devil May Cry 5* has now surpassed 10 million cumulative sales globally.”

With the entire *Devil May Cry* franchise surpassing 33 million units sold since the original game launched in 2001, fans are naturally asking one big question: when will *Devil May Cry 6* be announced? Given the success of DMC5, it seems almost certain that a sequel is already in development or will be greenlit soon.
