Devil May Cry 5 is the latest Capcom game to surpass the 10m units sold milestone.
The studio shared the news today, crediting the game’s “advanced story and action elements” for its ongoing popularity, as well as the addition of a new playable character.
There is one other thing that has given Devil May Cry a bit of a sales boost in more recent months – the arrival of Netflix’s Devil May Cry anime series back in April. Based on previous sales data, Devil May Cry 5 has shifted approximately 9k units since the show’s debut.
Celebrating Devil May Cry’s latest sales milestone, Capcom said the anime had been met with critical acclaim and boasts more than 5.3m views.
“As a result of the game’s exhilarating action, and due to efforts to enhance brand awareness by leveraging the title beyond the scope of videogames, including television adaptations, the title has now exceeded 10m units in cumulative sales worldwide,” Capcom wrote.
