First announced in 2018, the Devil May Cry anime will launch with an eight-episode first season. While the plot remains a mystery, it seems to focus on the character Dante, set during the timeline of the first three games rather than Devil May Cry 5. Fans will be delighted to know that Johnny Yong Bosch, known for voicing Nero in the video games, will lend his voice to Dante in this animated series.

The most recent entry in the Devil May Cry video game series, Devil May Cry 5, released in 2019, marked a triumphant return to form following the 2013 release of DmC: Devil May Cry. As a top-tier action game, Devil May Cry 5 is highly recommended, especially for those who have enjoyed titles like Ninja Gaiden Black 2.
