Dante's Inferno
E.A.'s Redwood Shores crew, recently more well known for creating the masterpiece that is known as Dead Space, is in the works on a new game called Dante's Inferno.
The game will be a third-person action adventure adaptation of the medieval epic poem The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. The poem tells the story of Dante who must travel through the 9 circles of hell to find his lady, Beatrice. The poem was written long ago in the 14th Century. In part one, which as you may know is called Dante’s Inferno, Dante must brave his way through all nine circles of hell; limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, wrath, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. “The time is right for the world of interactive entertainment to adapt this literary masterpiece, and to re-introduce Dante to an audience that, until now, may have been unfamiliar with the remarkable details of this great work of art,” said Jonathan Knight, executive producer for Dante’s Inferno. “It’s the perfect opportunity to fuse great gameplay with great story.” http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/bdt...er.php?id=2478

I actually stumbled on this news a little bit back over at gamespot and felt a tinge of excitement.
I seriously doubt their will be a great deal of care taken to preserve much of original text. I mean really, it's not an incredibly friendly piece of reading for modern times. I do hope though that they put more effort into realising the imagery of the text, that was the reason I read it originally and what had me excitited when I read about this.
