Netflix's new Devil May Cry anime has proven to be incredibly popular on the streaming service, making it to number four in the top ten global English-language shows. It also seems to have inspired people to go and play the games, as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Devil May Cry 5 and more have seen a huge spike in players.

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new anime follows game protagonist and half-demon Dante before we ever met him on consoles. In the show, he's a demon hunter for hire who has to save the world fro💎m a demonic invasion and the White Rabbit, a foe we only saw in the Devil May Cry 3 manga previously. So, 😼this is a much younger Dante than we're used to.

, the anime is only behind Arcane for the number of hours watched in its first week. It's even ahead of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and that show drew loads of people back to the sci-fi game, justꦡ like Devil May Cry is doing with, well, Devil May Cry.

Since the show was released, the number of people playing Devil May Cry 5 on Steam has gotten about ten times higher. It'🧸s even pushed the game into the global top sellers, which is pretty impressive considering that's ranked by revenue and the game is currently 75% off.

Other games in the series have benefitted too. The confusingly named DmC: Devil May Cry is up about its normal player count, and the HD Collection which contains 1, 2, and 3, is up more than what it was before the anime ♔aired and even has a new all-time con💞current player peak.

In Devil May Cry 5, you can control Dante, Nero, and a new character c✃alled V, so it's worth a go if you've not played anything from the series in a while.
