Devil May Cry Season 2: Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on May 24, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated May 24, 2025, 10:52 IST Netflix's Devil May Cry anime has taken the streaming world by storm, delivering high-octane action and a gripping storyline that has fans clamoring for more. Following the explosive first season, which premiered on April 3, 2025, Netflix quickly confirmed Devil May Cry Season 2, much to the delight of fans worldwide. With a cliffhanger ending that left viewers on edge, anticipation for the next chapter is at an all-time high. Here's everything we know so far about Devil May Cry Season 2. Devil May Cry Season 2 Release Date Speculation While Netflix has officially renewed Devil May Cry for a second season, an exact release date has not been confirmed. Based on the production timeline of Adi Shankar's previous hit, Castlevania , which typically saw a 15-month gap between seasons, we can speculate a potential release window for Devil May Cry Season 2 in summer or autumn 2026. Cast and Characters The voice cast for Devil May Cry Season 2 is expected to see the return of key actors from Season 1, though some changes may occur due to the passing of notable performers. Confirmed and potential returning cast members include: Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante: The charismatic demon hunter, voiced by Bosch, will remain the central figure. Bosch, known for roles in Bleach and Power Rangers , brings a fresh yet faithful take to Dante. Scout Taylor-Compton as Lady: Despite mixed fan reactions to her portrayal, Lady is likely to return, though some X posts suggest her role may be reduced in favor of focusing on Dante and Vergil. Robbie Daymond as Vergil: Vergil's emergence as a key antagonist sets the stage for a significant role in Season 2, with Daymond's performance expected to capture the character's intensity. Hoon Lee as White Rabbit: While the White Rabbit was defeated in Season 1, the series could introduce new villains or revisit his legacy. Chris Coppola as Enzo Ferino: A supporting character who may see further development. Plot Expectations for Devil May Cry Season 2 Devil May Cry Season 1 ended on a dramatic note, with Dante captured and placed in cryostasis by DARKCOM, while his brother Vergil emerged as a formidable antagonist, declaring war on humanity as 'The Knight' under King Mundus. Season 2 is expected to dive deeper into the complex relationship between Dante and Vergil, exploring their sibling rivalry and contrasting paths. The narrative will likely focus on Dante's escape from DARKCOM's facility and his mission to confront Vergil and thwart the demonic invasion. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

‘Doom: The Dark Ages' Is My First Game in the Series—and It Absolutely Rips (and Tears)
I'd always known Doom was a highly regarded video game franchise. Still, up until now I'd only watched from the sidelines—seeing an amalgamation of wild Let's Plays of its chaotic run-and-gun combat in my poor college days, witnessing folks play it on unconventional computer appliances, and blasting composer Mick Gordon's heavy metal original soundtrack in my leisure without fully grasping the context to why its gnarly songs went so unbelievably hard on Doom (2016). Now, with id Software and Bethesda Softworks' latest entry in the 32-year-old first-person-shooter series, Doom: The Dark Ages, serving as a prequel to its newly christened trilogy—while wedding two action genres I have a high affinity for and am coming around to, sci-fi and fantasy—I've finally jumped into the deep end on the series with its newly released game on my PlayStation 5. I went into Doom: The Dark Ages expecting its signature FPS chaos mixed with the demonic, style-switching combat I love in the Devil May Cry—a series I use as my metric for action games. I got something far more wild: a Doom game that somehow also channels other greats like Halo and Gears of War and yet remains purely, unapologetically Doom, packed with relentless action and satanic madness unlike anything I've played before. After sleeping on the series for too long, I'm wide awake now—Doom absolutely fucking rocks. A delectable pastiche of sci-fi and dark fantasy As a prequel, Doom: The Dark Ages eases players into its mayhem, setting the stage for an all-out war between alien overlords, medieval warriors, and hell's demons. The game sees Doom Slayer under some mind control, caught in a battle where Tonka-toy-built knights (equipped with high-tech comms like the Avengers) face off against a horde led by a warlord rocking Dracula's muscle armor. Early on, Doom Slayer is treated with the same gravitas as a Final Fantasy summon, given a simple directive: annihilate everything in his path with the same cold efficiency as a walking nuclear weapon. The Dark Ages' story? It's there. Granted, it mainly serves as an epic backdrop, blending dark fantasy with a touch of sci-fi, all while ferrying players from one bonkers WatchMojo 'Top 10 Insane Doom Slayer Kills' video moment to the next. Among the standout sequences that had me sit forward in my chair were Doom Slayer piloting a giant mech like a Pacific Rim veteran—and riding the back of a cybernetic dragon armed with a matching gun that looked like it was lifted straight off a metal album cover. Even beyond Dark Age's massive set-piece spectacles, its moment-to-moment gameplay is pure old-school gaming bliss. Throughout the game's 22 levels, frenzied players run and gun through an ambush of demons, grabbing shields, ammo, and health potions littered around the battlefield or offered as an incentive for ripping and tearing through demons with their bare hands. Combat and platforming that'll light every neuron in your brain Despite the sheer chaos of the Dark Ages' setting, its combat is where it truly shines, offering a wealth of strategy beneath the madness. As its killer box art suggests, Doom Slayer fights off demons with firearms that drop from the sky like orbital supply capsules, ensuring each battle feels like an escalating arms race where hell is on the back foot. New weapons enter your arsenal at every level, allowing customization and fluid switching via the weapon wheel. After adapting to the speed and ferocity required to survive as the Doomslayer, I found myself favoring the following weapons: Grenade Launcher: Perfect for starting and finishing fights, delivering quick and effective crowd control like Junkrat from Overwatch 2. Impaler: A needle gatling gun ideal for long-range enemies, stacking damage before detonating with the Shield Saw. Accelerator: An energy weapon that feels like Halo's plasma pistol, offering precision and raw stopping power Another pleasantly surprising part of Dark Age's combat that felt as rewarding to solve as its combat encounters was platforming its environmental puzzles. I found Dark Ages' emphasis on stopping and smelling the roses by heavily encouraging exploration to be just as much of a brain teaser as its experimental offering of combat combinations. Exploration is heavily promoted, and Dark Ages continuing the series' implementation of a map that smartly separates hard progress from side content with icons and markers for where hidden items like gold and gems to upgrade equipment was a godsend, making it easy to double back and hunt down upgrades, codex entries, or skins without losing momentum. I found it the perfect blend of action and curiosity-driven exploration for a game about killing demons. And then there's the Shield Saw—a new weapon introduced in Dark Ages that I doubted would fit Doom's FPS combat. But once I mastered it, it became my favorite weapon in its inventory. Shield Saw is my new best friend While I was initially apprehensive over whether or not the game's implementation of a shield would bog down its lightning-fast combat, it quickly became my favorite weapon in the game. Not just because it saved my ass a ton in sticky situations, but for how much more texture its added to its gameplay. The Shield Saw isn't just for blocking oncoming sword slashes and fireballs; it also doubles as a Mjolnir-like tool, letting you grapple to secret areas to uncover treasure, execute enemies with a shield bash, or ricochet into a line of overheated enemy shields from a hail of the Doom Slayer's gunfire for explosive crowd control. By far, my favorite use case for the shield saw was with its perfect parries. Like in Sandfall Interactive's Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Dark Ages' Shield Saw transforms parrying into a high-stakes rhythm game, rewarding players who seek out oncoming green fire balls and sword slashes and send them flying back at enemies. Even if I was underleveled in a brutal boss fight, or fighting uphill in a handicap battle, a perfectly timed parry could turn the tide in my favor and eke out a satisfyingly primal win in an otherwise unwinnable battle. The DMC sicko in me loved the sheer Royal Guard-style power the Shield Saw empowered me with, letting me stunlock enemies in the most disrespectful way possible. While melee combat in some games takes a backseat, here it's everything, not just for style, but for survival. Landing brutal in-your-face punches (or mace flails) funnels health-regenerating orbs, shields, and ammo into Doom Slayer like a vacuum. The game rewards ruthless aggression, encouraging players to embrace the chaos, chain Glory Kill whenever possible, and dominate the battlefield instead of hiding behind cover and playing it safe. The music doesn't quite live up to the moment Oddly enough, my biggest gripe with the game is its soundtrack. It never hit as hard as I wanted it to. While it does an okay job of underscoring the game's bedlam, it never quite amplifies the gunplay, shield throws, and eyebrow-raising boss reveals the way I felt it should. If anything, it went unnoticed the more I played; even to a newbie, that struck me as a sacrilegious takeaway from the game. A few hours in, I barely noticed the music ramping up before fights, like it was struggling to punch above its weight (more than I was in a boss fight) to match the sheer insanity on screen. Finishing Move (known for Borderlands 3, Halo Wars 2, and The Callisto Protocol) composed the soundtrack, but for a game like Dark Ages, music needed to be a driving force, not just background noise. Eventually, I turned Dark Ages' music volume down and blasted Gordon's old tracks instead to make up for what the game lacked sonically. Overall, Doom: The Dark Ages is an electrifying genre mash-up and an incredible entry point into the franchise that lives up to the hype it's garnered over the past 30 years, and I'm glad I stopped sleeping on it. Doom: The Dark Ages is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Kenny Omega predicts wild celebrity match at future WWE WrestleMania
Image via In an era where wrestling and celebrity culture continue to collide, AEW's Kenny Omega has made a bold and somewhat controversial prediction about the future of WWE's biggest event, WrestleMania. According to Omega, the days of traditional wrestling main events may soon be replaced by a showdown between two of the most popular names in the digital world - Logan Paul and Mr. Beast . During a recent conversation with Adi Shankar, Omega semi-seriously suggested that in the coming years, WrestleMania could see a main event featuring Logan Paul, a YouTube sensation turned wrestling star, and Mr. Beast, the viral philanthropist and content creator. "I think we're headed on a path where it's like, a couple of WrestleManias down the road, the main event is gonna be Logan Paul vs. Mr. Beast," Omega stated. "What is the wrestling acumen? How many miles have they put into it? It's like, does it matter? This is the process of evolution." AEW's Kenny Omega & Adi Shankar Breakdown "Devil May Cry" on Netflix A new era of wrestling celebrities? While the idea of a Logan Paul vs. Mr. Beast main event may seem far-fetched to traditional wrestling fans, Omega's prediction aligns with the ongoing trend of celebrity involvement in WWE. Over the past few years, WWE has actively incorporated celebrities into major storylines and even put them in the ring. From Bad Bunny's electrifying matches to Logan Paul's successful in-ring debut, the company has clearly embraced the business of celebrity wrestling . In fact, the company has already featured high-profile celebrity matches at major events. The most recent example was the presence of Travis Scott in the 2025 WrestleMania main event, a move that showcased WWE's growing tendency to integrate the mainstream appeal of celebrities into their wrestling product. Cody Rhodes hits Travis Scott with a Cross Rhodes: WrestleMania 41 Sunday highlights For Omega, this shift in WWE's approach is simply part of the "evolution" of the sport. "It's like, who's gonna come next? It's the process of evolution," Omega remarked, acknowledging that while traditional wrestling skills may be important, the mainstream draw of social media stars might eventually become the driving force behind WrestleMania's most coveted matches. Logan Paul's rise in WWE has been meteoric. His charm as a heel and his athleticism in the ring have made him a fan favorite and a constant presence at major events. As he prepares for a high-profile match against Jey Uso at WWE's Saturday Night Main Event, it seems the boundary between wrestling and social media fame is becoming increasingly blurred. Could a future WWE WrestleMania truly feature the digital titan Mr. Beast in a match against Logan Paul? While it may seem unconventional, Omega's prediction underscores a larger shift that fans and critics alike will have to reckon with in the years to come.

'Devil May Cry' Creator Open To Remaking First Game
Hideki Kamiya, creator and director of Capcom's classic hack-and-slash game franchise Devil May Cry, has expressed his interest in remaking the first game in the series, acknowledging that the ageing 2001 original will benefit from modern game design. Kamiya, who entered a new partnership with Capcom in December last year after leaving the studio in 2006, was responding to fan questions during the latest episode of his YouTube show when he was asked how he might approach a remake of the first Devil May Cry game. 'As for a remake, of course I'd love to do that,' he said (as translated by Video Games Chronicle). 'I usually don't replay my own games after release, and Devil May Cry is no exception. But once in a while, I catch gameplay clips and think, 'yeah, this really does feel like a 24-year-old game design.'' 'With today's technology and game design approach, of course, I'd want to remake it from the ground up. If that ever happens… well, I don't think seriously unless it's really happening, so right now, I don't have anything in mind. But if the time comes, I'll come up with something. That's what I do!' he added, 'So Capcom, leave it to me! Also, let me handle Viewtiful Joe too!' Kamiya directed the first Devil May Cry title, with the series going on to receive five major instalments between 2001 to 2019. He would then go on to work at PlatinumGames, before leaving in 2023 to form a new studio Clovers, which is currently working with Capcom for an Okami sequel revealed during last year's Game Awards. As for the Devil May Cry franchise, nothing new has been announced yet since 2019's Devil May Cry 5 , although the series did receive a boost in popularity thanks to Netflix's animated adaptation, which premiered on 3 April and landed a second season just one week after its release. Kevin is a reformed PC Master Race gamer with a penchant for franchise 'duds' like Darksiders III and Dead Space 3 . He has made it his life-long mission to play every single major game release – lest his wallet dies trying. Capcom Devil May Cry Hideki Kamiya
