Netflix’s Devil May Cry finally answers major series question
Jul 18, 2024 11:21 AMThe upcoming Netflix anime adaptation of Devil May Cry, led by Adi Shankar, has fans excited as new details emerge from a recently released behind-the-scenes featurette. One of the most noteworthy revelations is that Dante's iconic sword is now shown with a physical strap on his back, addressing a longstanding question about its placement. This detail provides a grounded explanation within the anime's universe, which fans of the hack n' slash series had speculated about for years. As anticipation builds, there’s hope for more footage and plot details, including its connection to the video game timeline and potential voice cast announcements.
Will there be a Devil May Cry 6?nWhile there is no official confirmation of Devil May Cry 6 yet, fans can remain optimistic. If Capcom maintains its current course, Hideaki Itsuno, who directed previous entries, is likely to return. However, he might presently be occupied with post-launch content for Dragon's Dogma 2, so an official announcement may take some time.
Devil May Cry has been a beloved series since its debut on the PlayStation 2. Known for its stylish combat and memorable characters, the franchise has garnered a dedicated fanbase. The original anime adaptation in 2007 expanded the series' reach, and the new Netflix version aims to build on that legacy, especially with a creative force like Adi Shankar onboard, known for his successful adaptation of Castlevania.
