Netflix Unveils Devil May Cry Anime Opening Trailer, Hints at Multi-Season Arc
Following the announcement of its premiere date, Netflix dropped the opening trailer for its upcoming Devil May Cry anime adaptation. The trailer, set to Limp Bizkit's iconic "Rollin'," showcases dynamic action sequences featuring a young Dante, Lady, and the enigmatic White Rabbit, peppered with nods to the game series.
Showrunner Adi Shankar elaborated on his vision for the anime's future. He highlighted the series' late 90s/early 2000s setting, emphasizing that the Limp Bizkit track perfectly encapsulates the era's spirit. The soundtrack will also incorporate other period-appropriate music, alongside a synthwave remix of the game's original score by Power Glove.
Shankar further hinted at a multi-season plan, stating that subsequent seasons will boast distinct visual styles and soundtracks to mirror the diverse nature of the Devil May Cry games.
While plot specifics remain under wraps, the first season is anticipated to adapt elements from the Code 1: Dante manga (based on Devil May Cry 3), focusing on a young Dante's investigation into a child's disappearance. This investigation will inevitably confront Dante with his past, family, and the legacy of his demonic father, Sparda.
The eight-episode first season is slated to premiere on April 3, 2025.
