Netflix unveiled the opening trailer for its upcoming Devil May Cry anime adaptation, shortly after announcing its April 3, 2025 premiere date. Set to Limp Bizkit's iconic "Rollin'," the trailer showcases dynamic action sequences featuring a young Dante, Lady, and the enigmatic White Rabbit, peppered with nods to the game franchise.
Showrunner Adi Shankar elaborated on his vision, explaining the series' late 90s/early 2000s setting and the deliberate choice of a soundtrack reflecting that era. Beyond Limp Bizkit, expect other period-defining tracks, alongside a synthwave reimagining of the game's soundtrack by Power Glove. Shankar hinted at stylistic and musical shifts across future seasons, subtly confirming the anime's planned continuation beyond a single season to encompass the diverse styles of the games.
While plot specifics remain under wraps, the first season, comprising eight episodes, is anticipated to adapt elements from the Devil May Cry 3 manga, "Code 1: Dante." This arc centers on a young Dante investigating a child's disappearance, a mystery that forces him to confront his demonic heritage and the legacy of his father, Sparda.
