Go to Hell. Do not pass Florence. Do not collect a free tour by Virgil.

More on the Dante’s Inferno videogame.

The recent E3 exposition revealed more details of EA’s imagining of Hell (I would have picked ‘unionised labour’): this time Limbo and, according to different accounts, Lust or “Anger”. After going on about using the original names for each circle, what was wrong with good old ‘Wrath’?.

We also now know that Dante is no longer an exiled poet but a returning soldier. Beatrice is not some tween he had the hots for, but now his murdered fiancée. Her soul torn down to Hell by Death, but not before Dante is able to kill him and take his scythe.

They also launched their site, which has some interesting videos on it.

The new trailer:

And some hilarious devs:
