IGN can confirm that an animated-series adaptation of Capcom's popular video game franchise, Devil May Cry, is in the works. The series will be developed by Castlevania executive producer Adi Shankar.

Shankar, in an exclusive interview with IGN's Jacki Jing, also revealed that his Devil May Cry series "will join Castlevania in what we're now calling the bootleg multiverse."

While Shankar didn't give us any specifics in terms of what this all means for the series' overall story, he did inform us that he "acquired these (Devil May Cry) rights myself so the jabronis in Hollywood don't f*** this one up too." Shankar's financial investment should allow him more creative freedom, as he begins to build this wildly ambitious multiverse of his.

Shankar attributes the Devil May Cry series announcement to the success Castlevania, which he says, "really over-performed. It did crazy well. We immediately got greenlit for Season 3." Thanking the fans who made this all possible, Shankar said, "I wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for the fans."

[TreIII]

MOTIVATION AT MAXIMUM

 

[Deleted member 176]

this is more interesting. there's already a good Zelda cartoon

 

[Sean]

 

[luca]

Yeah , this is something that makes me slightly interested. Was really big on DMC during the first two games on PS2. And since I don't play much anymore, I'm happy to get that universe over in an anime.

Guess I'm also watching Castlevania now.

 

[Kyle Cross]

Sure hope it's better than the anime adaptation.

 

[Deleted member 202]

Same universe as Castlevania? I guess we can bring back that Konami/Capcom joke from the old place.

 

[Mary Celeste]

im so fucking hard

 

[BadWolf]

If it's as good as Castlevania's Season 2 then oh boy.

 

[Ryuelli]

Not for me. Castlevania was neat, but I couldn't be any less interested in DMC if I tried.

 

[OnionPowder]

This show has the potential to be lit as fuck.

 

[Wandering Robot]

Less interested than I would've been for Zelda...but not totally disinterested, I guess.

Spoiler

:'(

 

[Sephzilla]

The start of the Konami/Capcom animated universe?

 

[theotherMittens]

Honestly this is way more fitting for Shankar.

 

[V_ac]

So like an actual multiverse or just part of their japanese games made into western cartoons canon?

The bootleg bit implies the latter to me.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Eh we already have an anime series on Devil May Cry and it wasn't offensive or anything.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Eh.....that's cool I guess. Preferred a Zelda show but I'm super happy for those who wanted this!
