Tuesday, February 11, 2025 saw the official X (formerly Twitter) account for Netflix share the first visual for the streaming platform’s Devil May Cry animated series. The key visual also reconfirmed the series’ release date of Thursday, April 3, 2025, with a presumed release time of 12AM Pacific Standard Time (PST).

While the key visual and Netflix’s post don’t offer any additional new information for the series,the animated series did recently confirm its opening theme song information. This was done via Netflix’s official X account posting the full opening theme sequence, which confirmed the anime’s opening theme as “Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle)” by Limp Bizkit.

The new key visual for the Devil May Cry animated series primarily features Dante with his back turned to the camera. He’s seen holding his sword across his back while looking back and smirking. A caption reads “demon hunter for hire” above text showing the series’ name and release information. What is of significant note from the key visual is the reflection of a character in Dante’s sword, although the character isn’t fully seen.

Based on what can be seen here, this character seems to be the anthropomorphic white rabbit seen in the final scenes of the series’ first official trailer. The presence of a monocle in the character’s reflection on the key visual, as well as scars and white fur, all suggest these two to be the same character. Likewise, this character’s presence and specific presentation in both the key visual and trailer suggest him to be one of the series’ antagonists, if not the main villain.

Unfortunately, there’s not any other information which can be gleaned from the latest promotional material for the Devil May Cry animated series. However, fans can expect another trailer focused more on the overall narrative of the series’ first season to be revealed before the series’ premiere. For now, however, fans are simply left guessing based on what little promotional material has already been shared for the series.
