Interestingly, Shankar recently shifted focus to another gaming icon — he just secured rights to develop a Duke Nukem series with Gearbox Software. "Season 2 evolves drastically. Yes, Dante powers up," Shankar revealed. "Expect next-level combat that better reflects the games' legendary style. But true growth isn't just about flashy moves — it's about character. Dante's journey isn't just about winning fights; it's about becoming worthy of them." Our review scored Season 1 an 8/10, praising it as: "A faithful, entertaining adaptation featuring one of this year's most spectacular animated episodes." Shankar's previous hit Castlevania similarly earned an 8.1/10 from us back in 2017. The prolific producer currently has multiple Netflix projects in development including Castlevania: Nocturne, an Assassin’s Creed series, and surprisingly, an animated PUBG adaptation.
