Netflix India is listing Netflix and Sublimation's Dragon's Dogma anime series based on CAPCOM's RPG video game series of the same name on its streaming service. The anime is slated to debut worldwide on September 17 exclusively on Netflix, including in India.
The anime will consist of seven episodes, each named after one of the seven deadly sins. Netflix India describes the story:
Resurrected as an Arisen, Ethan sets out to vanquish the Dragon that took his heart. But with every demon he battles, his humanity slips further away.
Shin'ya Sugai (009 Re:Cyborg, Walking Meat) is directing and producing the anime at Sublimation. Netflix's Taiki Sakurai (Cannon Busters) is the executive producer. CAPCOM's Hiroyuki Kobayashi (supervisor for Devil May Cry, Sengoku Basara - Samurai Kings) and Takashi Kitahara (production committee for Rockman.EXE: Hikari to Yami no Program, production supervision for Resident Evil: Damnation) are co-producers. Kurasumi Sunayama (Yowamushi Pedal, Cardfight!! Vanguard) is writing the script. Iku Nishimura (animation director for Ghost in the Shell Arise, Eden of the East) is designing the characters.
CAPCOM's original Dragon's Dogma game shipped for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in May 2012. The Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen expanded and enhanced version shipped for PS3 and Xbox 360 in April 2013. The PC version debuted internationally in January 2016. The PS4 and Xbox One release of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen launched in the West and Japan in October 2017, and was accompanied by the PC release in Japan. The game received a Switch version in April 2019.
