First announced in 2018, the Devil May Cry anime promises an eight-episode first season. While the plot remains shrouded in mystery, the series seems to center around the iconic character Dante, drawing from the narrative of the first three games rather than Devil May Cry 5. However, any direct connections to the game series are yet to be confirmed. Fans will be thrilled to know that Johnny Yong Bosch, who lends his voice to Nero in the video games, will be voicing Dante in the anime.

The last installment in the Devil May Cry game series was Devil May Cry 5, released in 2019. This game marked a triumphant return for the franchise, which had been on a bit of a break since the 2013 release of DmC: Devil May Cry. As a standout action game, it's highly recommended, especially for those who have been enjoying titles like Ninja Gaiden Black 2.
