This adaptation, spearheaded by Castlevania's Adi Shankar and animated by the acclaimed Studio Mir (known for The Legend of Korra and X-Men '97), was first announced in 2018. The first season will consist of eight episodes.

Plot specifics remain shrouded in mystery, but the series appears to focus on Dante during the era of the first three Devil May Cry games, rather than Devil May Cry 5. Interestingly, Dante will be voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch, who's known for voicing Nero in the video game franchise.

The last mainline entry in the Devil May Cry video game series was Devil May Cry 5, released in 2019. This marked a triumphant return for the franchise after a period of relative inactivity following 2013's DmC: Devil May Cry. Considered a top-tier action game, Devil May Cry 5 is highly recommended, especially for fans of titles like Ninja Gaiden Black 2. Read our complete Devil May Cry 5 review for a more in-depth look.
