Devil May Cry is back and looking better than ever.
Devil May Cry — an iconic series that follows the adventures of Dante, a sharp-tongued demon-hunting badass, — is officially back! The series’ trailer, which has been recently unveiled by Netflix, showcases an impressive animation quality while also giving us a glimpse of some intense action which over the years has become a staple of the DMC franchise.
Expectedly, the trailer did not give away many details when it comes to the story department, but it did show us just enough that we know what to expect. The central stage was taken by Dante sporting his iconic DMC3-era look and wielding his famous Ebony and Ivory pistols while battling against some unknown enemy. And frankly, for many fans of the original games and anime series this is more than enough to get incredibly excited as — let’s be honest here for a moment — this is exactly what we want and this is exactly the Dante we deserve.
It’s no mystery that the latest entries of the illustrious DMC franchise were treating Dante in an… experimental fashion, to put it mildly. Either reimagining the fan-favorite character as a rebellious British teenager (in Ninja Theory’s DMC reboot) or turning him into a grumpy old version of himself (in Capcom’s DMC5). In this sense for all the true fans of the franchise it is incredibly satisfying to finally see Dante back as his original self — precisely the one that we’ve grown to love.
This sudden but welcome twist becomes even more fascinating once we learn who is behind the series. Owned by US’s Netflix it is actually produced not by a Japanese studio but a South Korean one — Studio Mir, an incredibly competent team who have previously brought the critically acclaimed masterpieces The Legend of Korra and Young Justice.
Thus, weirdly enough, it seemingly took a combination of Korean and American effort to return a famous Japanese hero back to state that the fans have been dying to see him in — and that is very good news and a rare case when reverting something to its original state might actually be a fresh breath of fresh air for the franchise as a whole.
