Electronic Arts seems to love the PlayStation Portable. They’ll be releasing the Army of Two sequel for the Sony handheld, and now they’ve just confirmed that Dante’s Inferno will be launching alongside the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. That’s happy news for PSP owners.
How the versions will differ, however, is still a question.
According to the press release, the PSP version of Dante’s Inferno is being developed by the EA Redwood Shores studio and Artificial Mind and Movement (aka A2M).
“Our team and the team at A2M are taking the vision for Dante’s Inferno and translating it directly to the PSP,” said Jonathan Knight, executive producer and creative director on Dante’s Inferno. “PSP owners can expect to get the same level of fast, responsive gameplay through all nine detailed and unique circles of hell we are aiming to achieve on the consoles.”
Alighieri’s “Dante’s Inferno” is widely credited for being the work that has defined the western world’s contemporary conception of hell and purgatory. Just like the poem, players of EA’s 3rd person action adventure game will descend through all nine circles of hell: limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery, playing as Dante as they battle through a gauntlet of unimaginable evils, fighting to recapture the soul of his beloved Beatrice.
Ready to go to hell? EA is counting on it.
