The iconic Devil May Cry franchise has witnessed an extraordinary resurgence in popularity, largely attributed to the successful Netflix animated series adaptation. The latest installment, Devil May Cry 5, has emerged as Capcom's highest-selling title during the first quarter of 2025, surpassing even the renowned Resident Evil series in sales figures.

Originally conceived by Hideki Kamiya before his groundbreaking work on Bayonetta, the Devil May Cry series introduced gamers to Dante - a charismatic demon hunter wielding supernatural abilities to protect humanity. Spanning five mainline games, a 2013 reboot, multiple animated adaptations, and crossover appearances in titles like Marvel vs. Capcom, the franchise has cemented its place in gaming history.

The April 2025 release of Adi Shankar's Devil May Cry animated series on Netflix sparked renewed interest in the franchise. While receiving mixed reactions from long-time fans, the show's commercial success led to an immediate announcement for a second season. Similar to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the adaptation served as a gateway for new players to discover the original games.
