Dante's Inferno is an upcoming third-person hack and slash video game to be published by Electronic Arts and in development by Visceral Games (formerly EA Redwood Shores).[2] The game is loosely based on the canticle of the same name from Dante Alighieri's epic poem Divine Comedy.

Game PLOT

Prologue

Dante returns to his home to find his lover, Beatrice Portinari, has been murdered, and witnesses Death drag her into Hell. Giving chase, Dante steals Death's scythe and begins his journey to save Beatrice.

The First Circle of Hell - Limbo
Meeting the soul of the poet Virgil, Dante begins his descent into Hell, fighting demons, unbaptized babies and other tormented souls. He rides on the back of Charon, the ferryman, to reach the serpentine King Minos, the Judge of the Damned, whom he must defeat to continue his journey.

The Second Circle of Hell - Lust
Reaching the second circle of Hell, Dante discovers Lucifer/Satan is personally holding Beatrice's soul, even dressing her as his hellish bride. Dante must journey to the tower in the center of this circle's endless hurricane to defeat Queen Cleopatra, who rules this circle.

The Third Circle of Hell - Gluttony
Having defeated both King Minos and Cleopatra, Dante journeys to the next circle, one populated by gluttonous demons and even more carnage. There he must face the "great worm", Cerberus, who is more worm than dog.

The Fourth Circle of Hell - Greed
Speculated Boss: Plutus

The Fifth Circle of Hell - Wrath/Sloth
Dante continues to search for Beatrice and must confront an old enemy from his past, as well as Phlegyas, a giant, flaming demon who Dante used to cross the River Styx.

The Sixth Circle of Hell - Heresy
Speculated Boss or Bosses: The Furies or Medusa.

The Seventh Circle of Hell - Violence
Speculated Boss: Geryon.

The Eigth Circle of Hell - Fraud
Speculated Boss: Antaeus.

The Ninth Circle of Hell - Treachery
Having journeyed through all of Hell, confronted his past and atoned for his sins, Dante must now face the most evil entity in the history of the universe, Satan, the giant, three-headed ruler of Hell. Only by defeating the Prince of Darkness himself can Dante save Beatrice, and his own soul.

Hmm sounds interesting, I do like things that play with our old beliefs and stories. Looks good o far, but until i see more game play i cant accurately say if I will be excited for it or not.

For a scrawny Italian philosopher, Dante's pretty bad-ass.

But I prefer my Divine Comedy more subtle, a la Devil May Cry
