Since its release in 2019, the sales volume of "Devil May Cry 5" has officially exceeded 10 million copies.Capcom said the increase was largely due to the reigniting of the animated adaptation of Netflix that rekindled players' interest in the series.

Capcom said in a press release: "Recently, the company launched the new Devil May Cry on Netflix on April 3, 2025, which is in line with the company's strategy of 'multi-utilizing single content'." The strategy aims to drive game sales by adapting IP into series and movies.

Capcom pointed out that this popular animated series helped "Devil May Cry 5" to exceed 10 million mark with its global reputation and premiere weekly viewing volume.It is worth noting that the "Golden Week Promotion" activities common on the publisher's Steam platform have also surged by 438.54% to a peak of 14,645 - a record for a game that has been on sale for five years.

In fact, the role of successful animation adaptation in promoting game IP is self-evident.Previously, Netflix's "Cyberpunk: The Edge Walker" once again attracted a lot of attention from the frequent appearance of bugs in 2022.

"Devil May Cry 5" was released on March 8, 2019. With its extremely gorgeous combat style and refreshing gaming experience, it quickly became a popular work after its release.In the same year, with hits such as "Resident Evil 2: Remake", Capcom's US CEO Tichiro Urata once put up a victory gesture and announced: "Capcom is back."
