Devil May Cry anime debut date revealed

The Demon Hunter Arrives on Netflix

After years of anticipation, Netflix has locked in April 3 as the premiere date for its Devil May Cry anime adaptation. The streaming giant dropped a hype-building teaser on X, complete with fitting Limp Bizkit soundtrack - because nothing says demon-slaying mayhem like some good old nu metal.

DEVIL MAY CRY. APRIL 3. #NextOnNetflix

A Powerhouse Production Team

The project brings together an impressive creative team, with Castlevania's Adi Shankar producing and Studio Mir (The Legend of Korra, X-Men '97) handling animation duties. Originally announced back in 2018, the series will debut with an eight-episode first season.

What We Know About the Adaptation

While Netflix is keeping story specifics tightly under wraps, early indications suggest we'll see Dante from the earlier game timeline rather than his Devil May Cry 5 incarnation. In an interesting twist, Johnny Yong Bosch - who voices Nero in the games - will be taking on the role of Dante this time around.

For Fans of Stylish Action

This anime revival comes six years after Capcom's excellent Devil May Cry 5 revitalized the franchise in 2019. That title marked a triumphant return for the series after the divisive 2013 reboot, delivering some of the most satisfying hack-and-slash combat in gaming history. If you're craving more of that signature over-the-top action while waiting for the anime, now might be the perfect time to revisit Dante's latest adventure.
