Visceral Games, the developers behind Dead Space (one of my favs), has announced that a demo for Dante’s Inferno will be released some time in December 2009.
The ‘Gates of Hell’ demo will include the entire opening level and introduce players to the game’s hero, epic storyline, and intense gameplay. Players will experience fast-paced combat as they fend of hordes of evil enemies before taking on the ultimate battle against Death. If Death can be defeated, players will be able to wield Death’s scythe, and be ready to tear open the Gates of Hell. Featured along with the demo will be two cinematic movies created by Blur, the award-winning visual effects studio.
“Our main goal from the start of this project has been to create a journey that will make gamers truly feel like they are going through hell,” said executive producer Jonathan Knight. “The demo will give everyone some insight into how we are treating the story and a taste of the gameplay. And with nine more circles of hell to explore once the game comes out in February, we are literally just scratching the surface.”
EA’s 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. Each circle features unique environments, all new creatures, terrifying demons, and story elements that are scored distinctly to fit each circle of sinners.
Dante’s Inferno will be available on the Xbox 360, PS3, and PSP starting on February 9th, 2010 for the U.S. and February 12th, 2010 for Europe.
I, for one, cannot wait to get my hands on this evil, dark, and exciting game!
