About the game
The 2001 release of the first Devil May Cry game was a great hit and had a significant impact on the action game genre. Nevertheless, Devil May Cry 2 was a commercial and critical failure despite its early glory.
Remarkably, Devil May Cry has already been adapted into anime before the forthcoming Netflix series. The 12-episode series Devil May Cry: The Animated Series was produced by Madhouse Studio and aired on Japan's WOWOW TV Network in 2007.
Devil May Cry will stream on Netflix in April 2025.
