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 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 captures the era's vibe. The soundtrack will also reportedly include other period-specific tracks, along with a synthwave remix of the game's soundtrack by Power Glove.
Shankar further hinted at a multi-season arc, stating that future seasons will boast distinct visual styles and soundtracks to reflect the diverse nature of the Devil May Cry games.
Plot details remain under wraps, but the first season is anticipated to adapt elements from the Code 1: Dante manga (based on Devil May Cry 3), following a young Dante as he investigates a child's disappearance, forcing him to confront his father Sparda's demonic legacy.
The eight-episode first season is slated to premiere on April 3, 2025.
