Dante’s Inferno Demo hits PSN on Dec. 10, and Live on Dec. 24

Remember when we told you about the Dante Inferno demo hitting this month? Well we’ve finally got the official release date for both the PS3 and the 360. You can download the ‘Gates of Hell’ demo for the PlayStation Network on December 10 and on Xbox Live on December 24. The demo includes the entire opening level and gives gamers a taste of the terrifying odyssey to come in the Nine Circles of Hell as depicted in the full game.

“The world of Alighieri’s Dante’s Inferno is such a rich, detailed, and often alarming universe, that all of us at Visceral Games put our hearts, and dare I say souls, into creating something truly intense and exciting,” said executive producer Jonathan Knight. “We hope gamers enjoy this tease of hell, and come away from the experience lusting for more when the game comes out on February 9.”

So you lucky PS3 owners get the demo 2 weeks earlier, but either way I’m way stoked to try out the game, and see how the re-imagining and creation of the Dante Alighieri’s poem works.
