IGN can confirm that an animated-series adaptation of Capcom's popular video game franchise, Devil May Cry, is in the works. The series will be developed by Castlevania executive producer Adi Shankar.

Shankar, in an exclusive interview with IGN's Jacki Jing, also revealed that his Devil May Cry series "will join Castlevania in what we're now calling the bootleg multiverse."

While Shankar didn't give us any specifics in terms of what this all means for the series' overall story, he did inform us that he "acquired these (Devil May Cry) rights myself so the jabronis in Hollywood don't f*** this one up too." Shankar's financial investment should allow him more creative freedom, as he begins to build this wildly ambitious multiverse of his.

Shankar attributes the Devil May Cry series announcement to the success Castlevania, which he says, "really over-performed. It did crazy well. We immediately got greenlit for Season 3." Thanking the fans who made this all possible, Shankar said, "I wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for the fans."

I guess it's time for me to watch the Castlevania series. Heard nothing, but good things about it. Hope the DMC anime is good and has entertaining action scenes.

Interesting. I wonder if we'll see any of the acting talent from the games pop up, like Ruben and Johnny, or if they'll be recast.

Bootleg Multiverse?

...

Well, I'm okay with this.
Castlevania shouldn't have worked nearly as well as it did so why not. While he's at it he should call Tecmo next and ask them about Ninja Gaiden.

Adi Shankar calls all of his projects 'bootlegs'. I don't think DMC will literally be part of Castlevania's world.
