- The Devil May Cry animated series hits Netflix today

- Viewers will meet Dante in his early demon-hunting days

- Helmed by Adi Shankar, the show proves the franchise's enduring appeal

Looking for some weekend entertainment? Netflix just dropped its newest video game adaptation - Devil May Cry bursts onto screens with all the flair you'd expect from our favorite demon hunter.

Boasting Hollywood-caliber voice acting, stunning animation from Studio Mir, and Adi Shankar's creative vision, this fresh take on the franchise turns back the clock to show Dante's formative years before he became the legendary devil hunter.

The Devil May Cry universe keeps expanding - between DMC5's continued relevance and Tencent's mobile adaptation Peak of Combat, Capcom's iconic series remains strong. With this anime revival sparking new conversations, fans can't help but wonder what demons (or announcements) might appear next.

Let's rock!

While opinions on Adi Shankar's interpretations vary (remember his work on Dredd?), his passion projects always deliver intensity. Early reactions suggest his Westernized DMC approach might divide purists, but there's no denying the care put into productions bearing his name.

Speaking of Peak of Combat, if this anime gets you craving demon-slaying action, don't go in unprepared! Check our exclusive DMC: Peak of Combat codes for power-ups, or browse our weekly picks for fresh mobile gaming thrills.
