Announced back in 2018, the Devil May Cry anime promises an eight-episode first season, produced by the acclaimed Adi Shankar, known for his work on the Castlevania series. The animation is being handled by Studio Mir, the studio behind beloved shows such as The Legend of Korra and X-Men '97, ensuring top-notch visuals and action sequences.

While the plot remains shrouded in mystery, it appears the series will focus on Dante, the series' iconic protagonist, during the era of the first three Devil May Cry games. However, any direct connections to the video game series have not been confirmed. Fans will be thrilled to know that Dante will be voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch, who also lends his voice to Nero in the video games.

The last entry in the Devil May Cry franchise was Devil May Cry 5, released in 2019. This game marked a triumphant return for the series following a hiatus since DmC: Devil May Cry in 2013. As a standout action game, Devil May Cry 5 received widespread acclaim and is highly recommended, especially for those who have been enjoying similar titles like Ninja Gaiden Black 2.
