Dante's Inferno Announcement & Movie

This press release officially announces the Dante's Inferno game, though this project based on the first cantica in Dante's Divine Comedy was revealed a couple of months ago and film rights for the game were optioned shortly after that. A previous indication from the LinkedIn Page of EA's Jonathan Knight was this would be an "original action/adventure franchise for PS3/XBox360 at the EA studio in Redwood Shores," and while the announcement confirms a third-person action/adventure and that Redwood Shores is the studio behind the game, there are no platform details on the preliminary Dante's Inferno Website. The site does offer a teaser trailer, and here's a bit from the announcement: "An abducted soul, a lifetime of sins, a journey to the depths of despair. Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that EA Redwood Shores, the studio behind the hit horror game Dead Space™, is now working on another original property -- this one based on the medieval epic poem The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. The dark fiction gave birth to the Tuscan Italian dialect and is widely considered the work that has defined the western world’s contemporary conception of hell and purgatory. The poem tells the tale of Dante who journeys through the twisted, menacing nine circles of hell in pursuit of his beloved Beatrice. Dante’s tortured and tormented world is an ideal setting for this 3rd person action and adventure of a video game, Dante’s Inferno™."

Judging from the trailer EA doesn't know that much about Dante either. :-|
