Dante’s Inferno: EA
Invites Gamers to the Hell
Interactive entertainment software company, Electronic Arts (EA), says
its action adventure game Dante’s Inferno will be coming to the PSP
(PlayStation Portable). Based on part one of Dante Alighieri’s classic,
“The Divine Comedy,” the game will also take players on an epic
adventure through Dante’s nine circles of hell.
Dante’s
Inferno will be available simultaneously for the PSP, PlayStation 3, and
Xbox 360 system next year.
For PSP,
it’s being developed by EA Redwood Shores studio and Artificial Mind and
Movement (A2M), based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
“Our
team and the team at A2M are taking the vision for Dante’s Inferno and
translating it directly to the PSP,” said Jonathan Knight, executive
producer and creative director on Dante’s Inferno. “PSP owners can
expect to get the same level of fast, responsive gameplay through all
nine detailed and unique circles of hell we are aiming to achieve on the
consoles.”
Alighieri’s “Dante’s Inferno,” according to EA, is widely credited for
being the work that has defined the western world’s contemporary
conception of hell and purgatory. Just like the poem, players of EA’s
3rd person action adventure game will descend through all nine circles
of hell: limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud,
and treachery, playing as Dante as they battle through a gauntlet of
unimaginable evils, fighting to recapture the soul of his beloved
Beatrice.
Dante’s
Inferno has not yet been rated by the ESRB or PEGI, says EA.
