Netflix Gives First Look at Devil May Cry Animated Series Opening Featuring Limp Bizkit, Animated by Studio Mir Netflix’s highly anticipated Devil May Cry animated series is set to premiere on April 3, 2025, delivering an adrenaline-fueled adaptation of Capcom’s acclaimed action franchise.

This new series arrives two decades after the original Devil May Cry game debuted on PlayStation 2 in 2001, and follows in the footsteps of past successful video game adaptations spearheaded by Netflix, such as Castlevania. The Devil May Cry series brings legendary demon hunter Dante to the small screen, with animation handled by South Korea’s renowned Studio Mir—well-known for their work on X-Men '97 and The Legend of Korra.

At the helm is producer Adi Shankar, celebrated for his role as showrunner on the Castlevania Netflix series, which garnered critical acclaim for its faithful adaptation and dynamic visuals. This week, fans received their first taste of the upcoming series’ tone and style with a premiere of the opening credits.

The sequence is energized by the track "Rollin'" from American nu-metal band Limp Bizkit, lending the series both nostalgia and punch.

The opening, meticulously crafted by Studio Mir’s talented animators, showcases Dante in signature style, battling foes with stylized, kinetic action reminiscent of the gameplay that has defined the franchise for over 20 years. Capcom has continued to celebrate Devil May Cry’s legacy by making the series accessible to Nintendo fans.

The first three Devil May Cry titles—originally released on PlayStation 2—are available for Nintendo Switch via the eShop.

These classic action games allow both veterans and newcomers to experience Dante’s journey on modern hardware.

As of this week, players in the United States can purchase Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2, and Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition at a 50% discount, each available for $9.99—notably enhancing the series’ reach on Nintendo’s hybrid platform. The series' latest trailer, released in September 2024, impressed audiences with a montage of Dante’s signature action sequences, suggesting that the show remains faithful to Capcom’s iconic gameplay and narrative themes.

Studio Mir’s commitment to high-energy animation ensures that the on-screen adaptation will be a worthy addition to the Devil May Cry universe. With its April 2025 premiere approaching, anticipation is high among fans eager to see how Netflix, Studio Mir, and Adi Shankar have reimagined Dante's demon-slaying adventures.
