Dante’s Inferno Demo in Time for the Holidays

12/02/2009 Written by Zak Islam

Dante’s Inferno, a title which many are looking forward to before and after it’s impressive trailer. Developed by Visceral Games, the award-winning developers behind Dead Space. Dante’s Inferno is an ‘Epic descent through Dante Alighieri’s nine circles of hell – limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery’. PlayStation gamers who are awaiting the game, can finally get a taste of the game.

A Dante’s Inferno demo will be introduced to the PlayStation Store as a free and playable download on December 10th.

The demo will include the entire first level from the title, so expect a good lengthy playthrough.

Here’s an insight of what the level from the demo will include:

In the demo of Dante’s Inferno, players are introduced to Dante Alighieri’s re-imagined past as a crusader who returns home to Florence to discover his true love, Beatrice, murdered. As her soul escapes her body, she is kidnapped by the dark shadow form of Lucifer. Sworn to her rescue, Dante must journey to the Gates of Hell and beyond to battle undead monstrosities, unholy boss demons, and Death himself.

The demo serves as a prelude to the player’s perilous journey to the inner bowels of hell.

    awesome, thought it was a great book when i had to read it in high school… teacher even made us “recreate” the 9 levels of hell as a maze for halloween for other class to walk through.. most fun i ever had in an english class

    lets hope the game stays true to the poem and is not dumbed down too much for the young’ns!

    if it is then that’s a good thing. l thought Brutal Legends was a cool hack and slash game like GoW but unfortunately it was an RTS game =/

    Brutal legends hack and slash was clunky as shit. Don’t compare crap to goodness.

  6. @soldiercell – agreed sir. I like brutal for the humor value, thats about it.

    I’m curious if all 9 levels will have us fighting things, or if they’ll have some sort of challenges for some of them. Like will you have to resist eating things to get past gluttony, or fight a bunch of fat dead people?
