The Devil May Cry anime, first announced in 2018, is set to deliver an eight-episode first season. The project is brought to life by the talented team at Studio Mir, renowned for their work on acclaimed series like The Legend of Korra and X-Men '97. This collaboration promises stunning animation and a high-quality production that fans have been eagerly awaiting.

While the plot remains shrouded in mystery, it seems the series will focus on Dante, the beloved protagonist from the first three Devil May Cry games. Fans can look forward to hearing Dante's voice brought to life by Johnny Yong Bosch, who also lends his voice to Nero in the video game series. However, specific connections to the games remain unconfirmed, leaving room for surprises and fresh storytelling.

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 series, revitalizing the franchise after a period of hiatus following DmC: Devil May Cry in 2013. As one of the best action games available, Devil May Cry 5 is highly recommended, especially for those who have been enjoying titles like Ninja Gaiden Black 2 recently.
