Devil May Cry 5 Smashes Milestone with Over 10 Million Units Sold Worldwide Thanks To Netflix Animated Series
Capcom’s stylish and action-packed hack-and-slash adventure, Devil May Cry 5, has reached an impressive new milestone, surpassing 10 million units sold worldwide. This surge in sales is attributed, at least in part, to the recent release of the Netflix anime adaptation, Devil May Cry.
Capcom’s official announcement of the sales milestone, directly linking the increased popularity to the well-received anime series. This makes perfect sense. The anime has not only introduced the world of Devil May Cry to a new audience but has also reignited the passion of long-time fans who may have been itching for more demon-slaying action.
The success of the Netflix anime and the subsequent sales boost for Devil May Cry 5 certainly strengthens the case for a sequel. Capcom has a history of listening to its fanbase, and the demand for Devil May Cry 6 has been persistent for years. The timing seems ripe to capitalize on this renewed interest.
The Devil May Cry anime on Netflix has proven that the franchise has staying power and can attract a broad audience. This success, combined with the impressive sales figures for Devil May Cry 5, makes a compelling argument for Capcom to greenlight a new installment in the main series. While nothing is confirmed yet, the hopes for Devil May Cry 6 are definitely higher than they’ve been in a long time. Demon slayers, keep your fingers crossed – the next chapter in this beloved franchise might be closer than we think.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
