Why Devil May Cry's Controversial Netflix Producer May Actually be a Great Choice For This Game Adaptation

The confirmation that Adi Shankar, executive producer behind Netflix's Devil May Cry and Castlevania anime, has bought the screen rights to Duke Nukem could prove to be excellent, albeit controversial, news for the ailing IP. While Shankar has been in the industry for many years now, typically as a showrunner and producer, he is arguably best known for his work on Netflix's adaptations of Castlevania, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and Devil May Cry. Thanks to each series receiving critical acclaim, Shankar has become a surefire thing for future adaptations, with his name already attached to the likes of Assassin's Creed, Hyper Light Drifter, and now Duke Nukem.
