First announced back in 2018, the Devil May Cry anime promises an action-packed first season consisting of eight episodes. Although plot details remain closely guarded, it seems the series will feature Dante from the era of the first three Devil May Cry games rather than Devil May Cry 5. However, the exact connections to the game series have not been confirmed. Fans will be pleased to know that Dante will be voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch, who is also the voice of Nero in the video games.

The last installment in the Devil May Cry franchise was Devil May Cry 5, released in 2019. This game marked a triumphant return for the series, which had been on a bit of a hiatus since DmC: Devil May Cry in 2013. Devil May Cry 5 is celebrated as one of the finest action games available, and it's highly recommended, especially for fans of titles like Ninja Gaiden Black 2.
