First announced back in 2018, the anime will kick off with an eight-episode first season. While plot details remain closely guarded, it seems the series will focus on Dante, the iconic protagonist from the first three Devil May Cry games. Fans will be thrilled to know that Johnny Yong Bosch, who voices Nero in the video games, will lend his voice to Dante in this adaptation.
The last entry in the Devil May Cry video game series was Devil May Cry 5, released in 2019. This game marked a triumphant return for the franchise, following a period of relative quiet since the release of DmC: Devil May Cry in 2013. Devil May Cry 5 was hailed as one of the best action games of its time, offering a thrilling experience that fans of similar titles like Ninja Gaiden Black 2 would appreciate.
