Netflix has recently unveiled the opening trailer for the much-anticipated anime adaptation of *Devil May Cry*, following the announcement of its premiere date. The trailer, set against the iconic nu-metal track "Rollin'" by Limp Bizkit, showcases thrilling scenes featuring young Dante, Lady, and White Rabbit, packed with nods to the beloved video game series.
Showrunner Adi Shankar has shared his vision for the anime's future, emphasizing that the series is set in the late 90s to early 2000s. According to Shankar, the soundtrack perfectly captures the essence of that era. Fans can look forward to additional tracks from that time period, alongside a revamped soundtrack from the games by the synthwave duo Power Glove.
Shankar also hinted at the series' long-term plans, revealing that future seasons will explore different visual styles and soundtracks to highlight the diversity of the *Devil May Cry* games. This indirect confirmation suggests that the anime will extend beyond a single season.
While plot details remain under wraps, the first season is expected to adapt the manga *Code 1: Dante (Devil May Cry 3)*, focusing on a young demon hunter's investigation into a child's disappearance. This storyline will delve into Dante's confrontation with his past, family, and the legacy of his demon father, Sparda.
The first season will comprise 8 episodes and is scheduled to premiere on April 3, 2025.
