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!

splinter cell deserves serious high class adults movie not this.
Just because something is animated doesn't mean it's for kids.
sure, but it will not look realistic enough.

It deserves a new game

Oh yeah, that Castlevania Netflix series is the one that turned Alucard into a gay bottom who got his cheeks clapped and then cried about it afterwards.
On the lara trailer 1:03
bow CHECK
Pistols NOPE
I hate what the reboot series has done to lara.
Netflix gonna make Dante gay, aren't they?
I never understood why us gamers would watch a show of a game they we already played. If I'm going to invest hours into seasons of the witcher or fallout, why not just play the games again. They are going to invariably be full of all kinds of the garbage that infests all media in these trying days.
I find this whole Netflix trying to create "anime" hilarious.
You can see the westernization using successful IPs as a skin from miles.
Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 is a master piece
Is not, the original SAC was…is better than Arise, i give you that.
Calling it a master piece is too much, unless that is your only GitS experienced.
I've watched all the GITS series and movies, the Major never disappoints.
I watched only two netflix anime, Blame! and Devilman Crybaby, and they added gay stuff to Devilman, the artstyle was horrible and a huge downgrade if compared to the 90's OVA's. Blame! was just ok.
The original DMC anime was really good, hope they know what they're following
And they will all be lame and gay.
This crossover marketing gets so cringe. I watched edgerunners way after 77 released and it was fair to bad imo it's just that some pr spreads a word of mouth rumour online then a bunch of ai bots are sent out to spread it and voila you have the gullible and no mind types repeating it even more. Who watches some stupid cartoon and it compels them to buy a game just from that idk sounds like more marketing and fake comments etc
Coming from transflix you will get woke shìt from start to end.
