Every Devil May Cry game, ranked
Capcom's Devil May Cry is responsible for some of the best action games of all time, but some entries are (by far) better than others.
and From here on out, it's all guessworktherefore Take with a pinch of salt. One of the key factors to know what's to come in Season 3 has already been demonstrated: Lady broke her bond and left Darkcom for good, while Dante is still unconscious and bleeding on the ground. She's going to search for the man who was once her father, and has become the diabolical jester that most DMC fans know from Devil May Cry 3, which leads us to ask: is she going to a scenario like Temen-ni-Gru Tower?
If so, it's clear as day which direction the series will take. Devil May Cry Season 3 may perfectly align with the events in DMC 3, this time with Dante and Virgil meeting, enemies fighting for what they believe in and Lady facing her past once and for all.
And Trish? Well, that's for Adi Shankar to decide, but she may or may not be part of the plans for Season 3. This is the only 'loose end' that has fans confused. The order of events in the series is definitely different from Lore, but at the same time, very similar.

Dante is presented as a weak man with no clear goal in life, no experience in battle. Basically, he was treated like a ragdoll for most of season two, leading many fans to believe there was something wrong going on.
However, one thing is clear: Only character growth can help a monster hunter Get back on your feet. And he's already hit rock bottom: abandoned by his first love, separated from his brother, nowhere to go, and beaten to death. but, Now there is only one way. What will happen in Season 3 will be the opportunity to see the true Dante, whom everyone has loved since the early games.
