Italian poet Dante Alighieri wrote the Divine Comedy, an epic three-part poem (Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso) about the quest to find lost love and journey of personal redemption in the 14th century. The poem is famous for an imaginative description of sin and the afterlife, taking readers where they have never been or dare to go.

Electronic Arts and Visceral Games interpret this medieval poem to create a brilliantly disturbing game. The player battles through the nine circles of hell (Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud and Treachery) to the heart of hell in order to save his true love, Beatrice. Each circle of hell has a different director to create an intense and powerful representation of Dante’s poem.

EA collaborated with Cinco to craft the visual identity system for this game of lost souls and suffering damnation. The journey has been eye opening to say the least for us at Cinco. This has been an opportunity for us to create some of the most incredible imagery imaginable. The images to the left are just a small part of the overall system we’ve been developing. Stay tuned for more posters of the 9 levels of hell, and be sure to check out all the latest at the official Dante Website.
