Devil May Cry Animated Series Debuts on Netflix Featuring Young Dante

The wait is over - Netflix just dropped its animated adaptation of Devil May Cry, giving fans a fresh look at a younger version of the legendary devil hunter Dante. With Adi Shankar (known for Dredd and Castlevania) steering the project, it's clear the franchise still holds major cultural cachet.

Devil Hunter Origins

Kicking off what might be a quiet weekend for gaming news, this stylish new series brings the trademark Devil May Cry action to streaming. Studio Mir's animation expertise and a stellar voice cast promise an authentic adaptation that explores Dante's formative years before he became the silver-haired badass we know.

This revival comes at an interesting time for the franchise. Even years after its release, Devil May Cry 5 still casts a long shadow, and the mobile spinoff Peak of Combat recently made its western debut. The series begs the question - what's next for Capcom's beloved demon-slaying saga?

Style Meets Substance

Reactions to Shankar's vision have been divisive among hardcore fans, with some bristling at his "Americanized" take. But love it or hate it, you can't deny the passion behind his projects (just look at what he did for Dredd). The animation quality and voice work alone make this worth checking out.

If the series rekindles your Devil May Cry itch, we've got you covered. Our DMC Peak of Combat codes can give you a head start in the mobile spinoff. Or if you're just browsing for something new to play this weekend, check out our top mobile game picks for fresh gaming inspiration.
