First announced in 2018, the Devil May Cry anime is confirmed to be an eight-episode first season. While plot details remain shrouded in mystery, the series appears to center around Dante, likely drawing inspiration from the events of the first three Devil May Cry games. Interestingly, Dante will be voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch, known for voicing Nero in the video game franchise.
The last mainline entry in the Devil May Cry video game series, Devil May Cry 5, launched in 2019, marking a triumphant return after a period of relative quiet following 2013's DmC: Devil May Cry. A critically acclaimed action title, Devil May Cry 5 is a must-play, especially for fans of games like Ninja Gaiden Black 2. Read our full review here.
