Steam Next Fest was an excellent opportunity for players to learn about the most exciting and interesting upcoming PC games. However, one game that stood out even among the standouts to become the one of the most-played games from Steam Next Fest was a remaster of a cult favorite strategy game poised to make a solid comeback. Stronghold: Definitive Edition revitalizes the original 2001 game's strategic take on building a kingdom in Medieval Britain circa 1066. Coming from original developer Firefly Studios, the Definitive Edition aims to recapture the scope and story of the original but with some added flair.
The Netflix Devil May Cry anime that Adi Shankar is working on 'so the jabronis in Hollywood don't f*** this one up too' finally has a teaser
28.09.2023 - 15:55 / pcgamer.com / Don
Capcom's ultra-stylish demon blaster Devil May Cry is back again, but in anime form. As part of Netflix's Drop 01 animation event, the streaming behemoth dropped a teaser for its upcoming DMC anime series—the one announced back in 2018—courtesy of Adi Shankar, a name you'll recognise from his work as showrunner and executive producer on another animated Netflix series based on a videogame: Castlevania. DMC is being produced by Studio Mir, of Legend of Korra fame.
There's not much to say about the series based on the trailer, which is a brief 44 seconds long and doesn't showcase much beyond about four seconds of Dante dodging blades, firing guns akimbo, and doing some agile backflips that I bet will absolutely kill at the Paris Olympics.
Still, at least we can say that this looks to be DMC with a capital 'M'. That is, it's a series based on the longer-running, Capcom-developed version of the games rather than the controversial Ninja Theory reboot from 2013. That's not much of a surprise, mind you: the videogames have stuck with the original, white-haired Dante continuity since 2015's DMC 4.
And, well, that's pretty much your lot for now, besides a statement from Shankar saying how excited he is to be working on DMC: «I'm honored that Netflix and Capcom have entrusted me to shepherd the Devil May Cry franchise,» said the showrunner, continuing that «Alex Larsen and I love these characters, we are part of the fandom, and vow to surpass the exceptionally high bar we set for ourselves.»
There will, presumably, be some crossover between Netflix's Castlevania series and this. Shankar has said in the past that his DMC anime will «join Castlevania in what we're now calling the bootleg universe.» There's no evidence of that in this incredibly short teaser, though, so your guess is as good as mine about what that means.
To be fair, I'm taking Shankar seriously when he says he's a fan. Back when he revealed to IGN that he was working on a DMC series all those years ago, he remarked that he had «acquired these rights myself so the jabronis in Hollywood don't fuck this one up too.» Fair play, the man seems to genuinely love his Dante.
