First announced back in 2018, the Devil May Cry anime promises an eight-episode debut season. While the plot remains shrouded in mystery, it seems the series will focus on the iconic character Dante during the timeline of the first three games, rather than the more recent Devil May Cry 5. However, any direct connections to the games have yet to be confirmed. Fans will be thrilled to know that Dante will be voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch, who is already familiar to the franchise as the voice of Nero in the video games.

The last entry in the Devil May Cry gaming series, Devil May Cry 5, was released in 2019 to critical acclaim. Marking a triumphant return for the franchise after a six-year hiatus following DmC: Devil May Cry in 2013, it stands as one of the best action games available. If you've been enjoying titles like Ninja Gaiden Black 2 recently, Devil May Cry 5 is definitely worth your time. For a deeper dive into the game, check out our comprehensive Devil May Cry 5 review.
