First announced in 2018, the anime is a collaboration between Adi Shankar, the mastermind behind the acclaimed Castlevania series, and Studio Mir, renowned for their work on The Legend of Korra and X-Men '97. The series is slated to kick off with an eight-episode first season.

While specific plot details remain shrouded in mystery, it's speculated that the story will revolve around Dante from the timeline of the first three Devil May Cry games. However, any direct connections to the games are yet to be confirmed. The charismatic Dante will be brought to life by the voice of Johnny Yong Bosch, who also lends his voice to Nero in the video game series.

The last entry in the Devil May Cry video game franchise was Devil May Cry 5, released in 2019. This game marked a triumphant return for the series, following a hiatus since the 2013 release of DmC: Devil May Cry. As an action-packed experience, Devil May Cry 5 stands out as one of the best in its genre, highly recommended for fans of similar titles like Ninja Gaiden Black 2.
