First announced in 2018, the series promises an eight-episode first season, though plot details remain closely guarded. It appears the anime will focus on Dante, the series' protagonist, around the era of the first three *Devil May Cry* games, though any direct ties to the video games have yet to be confirmed. The charismatic Dante will be voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch, who notably lends his voice to Nero in the video game series.

The last installment in the *Devil May Cry* video game franchise, *Devil May Cry 5*, released in 2019, marked a triumphant return for the series following a brief hiatus after *DmC: Devil May Cry* in 2013. Praised as a top-tier action game, *Devil May Cry 5* is a must-play, especially if you've been enjoying titles like *Ninja Gaiden Black 2* recently.
