During its second quarter financial results report yesterday EA made the announcement that the first demo for Visceral Games’ third person action adventure title Dante’s Inferno will hit the Xbox 360 and PS3 this December.<\/p>\n
According to the related press release “the ‘Gates of Hell’ demo includes the entire opening level and gives gamers a taste of Visceral Games’ blockbuster adaptation of Dante Alighieri’s epic poem, The Divine Comedy”<\/p>\n
“The ‘Gates of Hell’ demo will introduce players to the game’s hero, epic story and intense action gameplay, tracing Dante’s battles from the surface all the way to the Gates of Hell” continues the release.<\/p>\n
“Players will experience fast-paced hack-n-slash combat as they fend off waves of enemies before taking on the ultimate battle against Death. After defeating this boss, Dante will be armed with Death’s scythe, a powerful holy cross, and will be ready to tear open the Gates of Hell. The demo also features two stunning cinematic movies made by Blur, the award-winning visual effects, animation and design studio.”<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
The game itself, which will be available on Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP is scheduled to be released on the 9th of February 2010.<\/p>\n
