Devil May Cry has become one of the most successful video game franchises of all time, and fans have been clamoring for a proper anime adaptation.

The creator of the anime Adi Shankar has already partially shared with the audience the information that worries them, when Devil May Cry season 2 will be released, and officially announced the future of the project. This article contains all the known details about the second season of the adaptation, which are currently known.

It is also indirectly stated that several more chapters are planned for release, and the first part is a kind of introduction to a multi-season arc.

Briefly about the events of the previous season of the anime
A terrorist known as the White Rabbit intends to destroy the barrier separating the demon world from the human world and unite the two realities. To do this, he steals the Edge of Power from the Vatican Museum, the sword of the devil Sparda, who turned against his demonic brethren in the name of protecting humans. The remaining elements needed to complete this mission are the half of the amulet kept by Sparda's son, the hunter Dante, and his blood.
Meanwhile, Dante, previously unaware of his demonic nature, finds himself the focus of attention of the elite government unit DARKCOM and Vice President William Baines. They intend to capture the young man and use his abilities for the benefit of humanity.
Dante learns of his true origins and awakens his demonic form, and also discovers that his brother Vergil is alive. Together with the squad leader Mary Anne Arkham (Lady), he confronts the terrorist and prevents the gate from opening and destroying humanity. However, due to the danger that the hero poses, Lady paralyzes him and hands him over to the government to prevent possible threats in the future.
What Will Happen in Season 2 of Netflix's Devil May Cry
The finale of the first chapter features a series of shocking plot twists. Dante is put into an induced coma, Sparda's blade and amulet are mothballed, and Vergil enters the scene, clearly with far-reaching and not entirely favorable plans for humanity.
Most likely, the continuation of the animated series will feature the long-awaited meeting of the two brothers, a new threat to the human race, and Dante will triumphantly return to the game. It is also possible that his relationship with Mary will develop further, which, given the girl's actions, will clearly be difficult, and the two heroes will have to rebuild trust between each other.
The Evanescence video also featured the first teaser for the season, showing Dante with his unchanging Ivory and updated design, closer to the original games. Lady also flashed in the background, which clearly means that these two will reunite and work together again. The full version of the video is below:
