Recently, Netflix released an animation based on Capcom's "Devil May Cry" series.This animation has been well received abroad and has ranked 24th on IMDB's most popular list.
After the hit of this animation, both new and old players have become interested in Devil May Cry 5, resulting in the game reaching more than 13,000 simultaneous online players for the first time in nearly five years.Prior to the release of the animation, the peak number of the work was only about 2,000.As a result, the number of concurrent players in this work has increased by 6 times.
Since the animation has only been aired for a week, it may attract more players to join soon after. Of course, another reason for the sharp increase in the number of players is that "Devil May Cry 5" is now at an all-time low price, only 37 yuan.
On Steam, Devil May Cry 5 is currently the 10th-selling game, surpassing masterpieces like Dawn and the recently launched Assassin’s Creed: Shadow.
From this point of view, the increase in the number of online players in Devil May Cry 5 may indicate that players are already looking forward to the next work in the series.
