06/13/2025 Action

Capcom's stylish action game, Devil May Cry 5, has officially hit a major milestone, surpassing 10 million units sold worldwide! This incredible achievement is a testament to the game's enduring popularity and the success of its recent marketing strategies.

A Bloody Good Success Story

Capcom attributes this success to several factors, including the game's already-amazing combat and the addition of a new playable character. But there's another significant contributor to this recent sales surge: the Netflix anime series.

Since the anime's premiere in April, Devil May Cry 5 sales have seen a noticeable boost, adding approximately 9,000 units to its impressive total. The anime, which has garnered over 5.3 million views and critical acclaim, has undoubtedly helped broaden the game's reach and attract new fans. It's a great example of how cross-media collaborations can revitalize even established franchises.

More Than Just a Game

The success of Devil May Cry 5 is part of a larger trend for the franchise. The entire Devil May Cry series has now sold over 33 million units since its debut in 2001, demonstrating the enduring appeal of Dante's stylish demon-slaying adventures. Capcom’s commitment to expanding the franchise beyond gaming, through avenues like anime, is paying off in a big way.

With the Devil May Cry anime already renewed for a second season, featuring the iconic voice talents of Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante and Kevin Conroy as VP Baines, the future looks bright for this action-packed franchise. Expect even more thrilling adventures from Dante and company!
