, in line with the company’s Single Content Multiple Usage strategy.

"The animated series has garnered critical acclaim from around the world, and with more than 5.3 million views it ranked fourth during its first week globally in the "Shows | English" category, while also ranking in the top 10 for seven consecutive days in Japan.

But ****** May Cry 5 is by some margin the best-selling ****** May Cry game, and has now cracked the top 10 best-selling Capcom games ever list. Dante and friends will return at some point. The question is, when?
