There's still time for the Visceral Games cult classic action-adventure game Dante's Inferno to return to the limelight 15 years later.

15 years ago, on February 9, 2010, EA and Visceral Games ushered players around the world to journey into Hell like never before in the third-person action-adventure game Dante’s Inferno. Following the widespread success of Dead Space and being inspired by adaptive works such as the film 300, Visceral Games sought to develop a similar graphic novel-esque game based on a popular story. Based on this outline, director Jonathan Knight chose to base Visceral's next big game on the first part of the 14th century poem The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.
