This highly anticipated animated series, spearheaded by Castlevania showrunner Adi Shankar and brought to life by Studio Mir (renowned for The Legend of Korra and X-Men '97), was initially announced in 2018. The first season will comprise eight episodes.

While plot specifics remain shrouded in secrecy, the series appears to feature Dante, likely based on his portrayal in the first three Devil May Cry games rather than Devil May Cry 5. However, any direct connections to the game's canon remain unconfirmed. Interestingly, Dante will be voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch, who is known for voicing Nero in the video game franchise.

The most recent entry in the Devil May Cry game series, Devil May Cry 5, launched in 2019, marking a triumphant return after a period of relative inactivity following the 2013 release of DmC: Devil May Cry. Critically acclaimed as a top-tier action game, it's highly recommended, especially for fans of titles like Ninja Gaiden Black 2. Read our comprehensive Devil May Cry 5 review here.
