One of the most widely anticipated releases of February 2010 is Visceral Games’ Dante’s Inferno. Dante’s Inferno is based on the famous poem of the same name, which in and of itself has brought lots of attention to the title. Even with millions of eyes staring at the release of this hot upcoming action-adventure title, Electronic Arts is looking to kick that up another notch.
Electronic Arts has announced that there will be a 30-second Dante’s Inferno commercial during the Super Bowl. This year’s Superbowl, Super Bowl XLIV, will be hosted on February 7th and is expected to draw over 100-million viewers worldwide. Dante’s Inferno has a North American release date of February 9th, and looks to profit from great timing.
Dante’s Inferno will join Bayonetta and God of War 3 as the hottest hack-and-slash action-adventure titles of 2010 next week when it finally drops.

hello …
i can’t wait to have mine
..will also be great game to play while waiting for Kratos to unleash Chaos.
cheers!
Superbowl ad is smart idea. Now the viral marketing and fake protesting was an EPIC fail. They should have spent that money on this any way.
Because of the previous idiotic marketing, Dante is not a new purchase for me. (Hey, with so many games it doesn’t take much to have one dropped from the list.)
agreed, I can pass on it. Wait for it to drop to 20 or 30 in 4 months and then i’ll spring
Does anyone ever expect someone to scream out “Unleash Hell” in these ads?
Also…
Did anyone notice that hill in the background having ears?
