Dante's Inferno official at the Video Game Awards

It has been known for a while that EA have been working on a video game adaptation of Dante's The Divine Comedy. Dante's Inferno was shown to the world at Spike TV's Video Game Awards late Sunday. While the teaser didn't reveal much about the game other than that it's a third person action adventure, but it also revealed an art style far from what we are used to seeing from EA.

The game is being developed at EA Redwood Shores, most recently of Dead Space fame. Here's a quote from the press release.

"The time is right for the world of interactive entertainment to adapt this literary masterpiece, and to re-introduce Dante to an audience that, until now, may have been unfamiliar with the remarkable details of this great work of art," said Jonathan Knight, executive producer for Dante's Inferno. "It's the perfect opportunity to fuse great gameplay with great story."

Yes, we'd like to go hell now... very much so.
