Devil May Cry

Devil May Cry Guía y cronología

Dante approaches demon hunting with weapons, bravado and family baggage that never stays buried for long. Devil May Cry makes the style of a fight part of its pleasure, while the descendants of Sparda give the action its personal stakes. Animated versions offer other ways into these characters and their conflicts.

Devil May Cry: meet Dante as introduced or as a younger hunter

For the original game progression, select Main Continuity and Release order: DMC1, 2, 3, 4, 5. For the main story sequence, begin with DMC3 instead.

The default story-based route begins with DMC3, so use Release order if you want the first published game first.

Overview & recommendation

Dante's first published adventure introduces his family history through a mystery; DMC3 goes back to a younger Dante and his conflict with Vergil. These are two useful starting perspectives, rather than evidence that the games were numbered chronologically.

The reboot and Netflix animation have their own interpretations. The 2007 anime belongs with the core Capcom material but should not be used to force a precise date for every game event.

Choose release progression to experience the action games' development, or story order for the younger-Dante opening. Keep DmC and Netflix outside that core numbered sequence.

Capcom's Dante and separate reinterpretations Main story, reboot and Netflix animation

Main contains the core games and 2007 anime. DmC is a reboot interpretation; Netflix has its own adaptation group and is not simply the next season of the older animation.

  • Main Continuity (9 entries)

    The core Capcom games and 2007 anime. Main-game story order begins 3, 1, 2, 4, 5; the anime's exact placement remains qualified.

  • Reboot Timeline (1 entry)

    DmC's separate reboot interpretation of Dante, not the Netflix adaptation or a replacement numbered-game chapter.

  • Netflix Continuity (1 entry)

    The separate Netflix animated interpretation, distinct from both DmC and the core games' 2007 anime.

Two sensible ways to begin playing 11 entries

Release order opens with Dante and Trish in the first game. Story order begins with Dante's earlier struggle in DMC3, then continues 1, 2, 4 and 5.
