Dante's Inferno Escapes Hell to the Safety of Games with Gold

EA's gore-filled take on Virgil's classical epic poem, The Divine Comedy, is one of the next games set to be released for free as a part of Microsoft's Games with Gold program. In Dante's Inferno, players take on the role of tortured Crusader Dante, who must navigate through all Nine Circles of Hell to rescue his lover from the Devil himself.

Dante's Inferno is a third-person hack-and-slash game in similar vein to such titles as God of War or Devil May Cry. While not a strictly horror game, its themes, subject matter, and setting provide more than its fair share of horrific surprises along the way.

Dante's Inferno will be available for free to all Xbox Live Gold members starting on November 16th. Are you willing to go through Hell to save your beloved Beatrice?
