Video: Devil May Cry anime's opener feature Limp Bizkit's banger

Shortly after revealing the premiere date for the *Devil May Cry* anime adaptation, Netflix dropped the official opening trailer, giving fans their first intense glimpse into the series. Set to the hard-hitting sounds of Limp Bizkit’s iconic track “Rollin’,” the trailer showcases high-octane action sequences featuring a young Dante, Lady, and White Rabbit, packed with subtle nods and references to the beloved video game franchise.

Showrunner Adi Shankar also shared insights into the creative direction of the series, emphasizing that the story is set in the late '90s to early 2000s—a time period that heavily influenced the original games. According to Shankar, the soundtrack plays a crucial role in capturing the essence of that era. Alongside Limp Bizkit’s contribution, the series will feature other tracks from the same period, as well as reimagined game themes by synthwave duo Power Glove.

Shankar further revealed plans for future seasons, stating that each new season will explore different visual styles and musical tones to reflect the variety found across the *Devil May Cry* game series. This not only highlights the evolving nature of the franchise but also subtly confirms that the anime won’t be confined to just one season.

While specific plot details remain under wraps, it's believed that the first season will closely follow the events of the *Devil May Cry 3*–inspired manga *Code 1: Dante*. In the story, a younger version of the demon hunter is drawn into a mysterious case involving the disappearance of a child, leading him to confront his complicated past, family legacy, and the demonic heritage of his father, Sparda.

Mark your calendars—the eight-episode first season is scheduled to debut exclusively on Netflix on [ttpp] April 3, 2025. Get ready for a stylish showdown between demons and destiny.
