With Dante going to Hell tomorrow, there’s a lot of launch festivities planned for what was probably the most uniquely marketed game ever. For those out of the loop, Dante’s Inferno is an Action/Adventure game from EA’s Visceral Games based on part one of Dante Alighieri’s fourteenth-century poem, the Divine Comedy. It follows Dante’s quest to free his beloved from the Underworld. In the process, he’ll have to traverse the nine circles of Hell (Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Heresy, Violence, Fraud & Treason), atoning for his past sins along the way. I’ve had a chance to check it out at PAX 09 along with the currently available demos & let me tell you, it plays very similar to Sony’s God of War franchise. So, if you’re a fan of that style of gameplay (& really, who isn’t?), then Dante should be on your shopping list tomorrow. Now, if you have any questions about the game, what better place to get answers than from a group of guys who helped put put the game together? Tomorrow, there will be a live chat with the production team from 5PM – 8PM EST (2PM – 5PM PST). See below for all the details if you want to participate plus I’m carrying the chat module right here in this post. So, bookmark this page & check it out when it kicks off tomorrow afternoon.
