Thanks to Geeked Week event, fans of Tomb Raider and Davil May Cry were able to see new promo material that shows the upcoming animations, adaptated from popular video games. Admittedly, Netflix has not yet unveiled trailers for the aforementioned shows, but thanks to the released videos we can learn a little more about them.

In a behind-the-scenes video announcing Devil May Cry the series' creator, Adi Shankar, talked a bit about his project and, judging by his words, we can count on a show of the highest level. The filmmaker decided to explain to the fans why they have to wait so long to watch the animated version of Dante's adventures, when the creation of the adaptation was announced back in 2018.

As it turns out, since then the producer and screenwriter, Alex Larsen, have been constantly working on the show, and the long waiting time is due to the fact that the creators approach their work with the utmost care. As the filmmaker announces, his goal is not just to release an animation. He has much bigger ambitions - he wants to create one of Netflix's best shows. Although viewers have not yet received a trailer, we can still see some action sequences featuring Dante in the new footage. See for yourself.

Another animated adaptation of a video game, which will soon be available on Netflix, is Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. The released promotional material gives fans a glimpse of how the animated version of the heroine, voiced by Hayley Atwell, was created.

Exact release dates for the shows are not yet known, but Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft will debut in 2024.
