Devil May Cry, Splinter Cell and Cyberpunk 2077 will get new animated series on Netflix

We don’t usually share this type of news, but it appears that several video-games will be adopted to anime. Netflix has just announced that Devil May Cry, Splinter Cell and Cyberpunk 2077 will receive animated series.

Devil May Cry should translate great on anime. Visual-wise, it should be as good as the Castlevania anime. The animated series will be made by Studio Mir which has been behind The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep. The studio also worked on The Death of Superman, Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge, and X-Men ’97. However, in those anime, it simply provided additional help.

On the other hand, I’m a bit concerned about the Splinter Cell anime. Let’s start with the first good thing. It’s good to see something new about Splinter Cell. However, I don’t know how good it will be as an anime. Ubisoft itself will be responsible for the series and Liev Schreiber will be the voice of Sam Fisher. Since this is an anime, I don’t know why Ubi did not use Michael Ironside.

Finally, Netflix and CD Projekt RED announced that they are working on a new Cyberpunk 2077 anime. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was a big success for both of them, so it makes sense to capitalize on it. Other than the following teaser, though, the studios did not reveal anything else. So, don’t expect to see this new CP2077 anime in 2024.

And that is that. Three new animated series based on popular video-games. Since I’m a big fan of anime, I like this. Truth be told, I don’t expect them to be anything special. Still, they should be fun to watch. At least I hope so.

Before closing, Netflix also shared a new trailer for Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. So, I’ve also included it below.

Enjoy!
