Dante's age throughout the Devil May Cry series is generally understood as follows:
- In Devil May Cry 3 , Dante is about 18-19 years old. This game is set when he is a late teenager
- In Devil May Cry 1 , Dante is 28 years old. This is based on the timeline where the death of his mother Eva happened 20 years prior when he was 8, making him 28 in DMC 1
- In Devil May Cry 4 , Dante is approximately 38 years old. This is inferred because Nero, who is 19 in DMC 4, is said to be the same age Dante was in DMC 3, and Dante is roughly double Nero's age here
- In Devil May Cry 5 , which takes place about 5 years after DMC 4, Dante is around 43-44 years old
Thus, Dante ages from late teens in DMC 3 to his early 40s by DMC 5, with 28 years old in the original DMC game and late 30s in DMC 4. This timeline is widely accepted among fans and supported by in-game references and supplementary materials
