The First Circle of Hell - Limbo
Meeting the soul of the poet Virgil, Dante begins his descent into Hell, fighting demons, unbaptized babies and other tormented souls. He rides on the back of Charon, the ferryman, to reach the serpentine King Minos, the Judge of the Damned, whom he must defeat to continue his journey.
Confirmed Bosses: Charon, King Minos.
The Second Circle of Hell - Lust
Reaching the second circle of Hell, Dante discovers Lucifer is personally holding Beatrice's soul, even dressing her as his hellish bride and deceiving her into thinking Dante broke his vow to her. Dante must journey to the phallic tower in the center of this circle's endless hurricane to defeat Queen Cleopatra, who rules as one of Lucifer's regents.
Confirmed Boss: Cleopatra
The Third Circle of Hell - Gluttony
Having defeated both King Minos and Cleopatra, Dante journeys to the next circle, one populated by gluttonous demons, landscapes made of human flesh, clouds of urine, rivers of defecation and the insatiable appetite of gorger worms. There he must face the "great worm", Cerberus, a mass of worm-like stomach protruding from a open maw.
Confirmed Boss: Cerberus
The Fourth Circle of Hell - Greed
Defeating Cerberus, Dante enters the circle of Greed, which is mechanical in nature compared to the previous circles. Within the circle are occupants who are boiled alive in molten gold below, condemned for spending their life hoarding and or wasting riches. In this "factory of torture," Dante will be faced with the horrendous puzzles of the Wheel of Fortune which is used to deliver punishment, and come face to face against the fallen god Plutus, a living golden statue.
Confirmed Boss: Plutus
The Fifth Circle of Hell - Anger
Dante continues to search for Beatrice and confronts Phlegyas, a giant, flaming demon who Dante unknowingly rode across the River Styx. Escaping the behemoth's fury, he witnesses the beast entering the City of Dis, and he must follow if he is to save Beatrice.
Confirmed Boss: Phlegyas
The Sixth Circle of Hell - Heresy
Upon entrance into Hell's capital, the burning City of Dis, Dante descends into the lair of the Heretics who are trapped in flaming tombs and nailed to inverted burning crosses. The Dark Priests, necromancers and conjurers are free to worship the "Fallen One" and guard this circle. The souls of the ancient followers (Ex. Abraham) are trapped here as well, waiting the arrival of "The One" and their redemption. Dante also encounters a former Crusader friend who died because of him.
Confirmed Boss: Unknown At This Time
The Seventh Circle of Hell - Violence
The Eighth Circle of Hell - Fraud
The Ninth Circle of Hell - Treachery
Having journeyed through all of Hell, confronted his past and atoned for his sins, Dante must now face Lucifer in his true form: a giant, three-headed demon. Only by defeating the Prince of Darkness himself can Dante save Beatrice, and his own soul.
Confirmed Boss: Lucifer
This is the trailer for Dante's Inferno the animated film which will be released in February 2010:
Below is one screenshot of the game which people are saying is similar to the God of War game.
this looks pretty good, is it a prequel to the game thats coming out or a film that follows the same story?
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's a prequel but i think it might just be a story-line of the games levels and its from people who have worked on dead space downfall, Tales of the Black Freighter and more movies like them, so it must be as good.
