Netflix has just unveiled the opening trailer for the highly anticipated anime adaptation of *Devil May Cry*, setting the stage for its premiere. The trailer, accompanied by the iconic track "Rollin'" by nu-metal legends Limp Bizkit, features thrilling scenes with young Dante, Lady, and White Rabbit, packed with nods to the beloved video game series.
Showrunner Adi Shankar has shared his vision for the series, which is set in the late 90s to early 2000s. He believes the soundtrack perfectly captures the essence of that era. Alongside Limp Bizkit, fans can expect to hear other iconic tracks from the time, as well as a revamped soundtrack from the games by the synthwave duo Power Glove.
Shankar also hinted at the future of the series, mentioning that subsequent seasons will vary in visual style and soundtrack to reflect the diversity found within the *Devil May Cry* games. This subtle confirmation suggests that the anime will extend beyond a single season.
While plot details remain under wraps, the first season is expected to draw from the manga *Code 1: Dante (Devil May Cry 3)*. It follows a young demon hunter as he delves into the mystery of a missing child, confronting his past, family, and the legacy of his demon father, Sparda.
The first season will comprise 8 episodes and is slated to premiere on April 3, 2025. Fans of the *Devil May Cry* series can look forward to an exciting blend of nostalgia and fresh storytelling.
