IGN: Dante’s Inferno First Look

Close to seven hundred years ago, Dante Alighieri, who is widely thought of as the father of the Italian language, wrote a book that became the definitive medieval view of the afterlife. A mix of Biblical references as well as Italian folklore and mythology of the time, the Divine Comedy encapsulated Dante’s quest for his ideal woman, Beatrice. Not only is the Divine Comedy widely considered to be one of the greatest classics of literature, but it influenced artists like Rodin, Blake, Dore and Delacroix. Soon, the Divine Comedy will influence a new kind of media with EA’s upcoming release of Dante’s Inferno.
