Netflix has thrilled fans by announcing the premiere date for the anime adaptation of *Devil May Cry* and releasing its opening trailer. The trailer, set against the iconic track "Rollin'" by the nu-metal band Limp Bizkit, showcases dynamic scenes featuring young Dante, Lady, and White Rabbit, all packed with nods to the beloved game series. This exciting preview has set the stage for what promises to be a thrilling addition to the *Devil May Cry* universe.
Showrunner Adi Shankar has shared his vision for the series, emphasizing its setting in the late 90s to early 2000s. He believes the soundtrack perfectly captures the spirit of that era. Alongside Limp Bizkit, the series will feature other tracks from the time, as well as a revamped soundtrack from the games by the synthwave duo Power Glove. Shankar also hinted at future seasons, revealing that they will vary in visual style and soundtrack to reflect the diversity of the *Devil May Cry* games, indirectly confirming the series' continuation beyond a single season.
While plot details remain under wraps, the first season is anticipated to draw from the manga *Code 1: Dante (Devil May Cry 3)*, where a young demon hunter delves into the mystery of a missing child. This investigation will lead him to confront his past, his family, and the legacy of his demon father, Sparda.
The first season of the *Devil May Cry* anime will consist of 8 episodes and is slated to premiere on April 3, 2025. Fans of the series can look forward to an action-packed journey that stays true to the essence of the iconic game franchise.
