Dante's Inferno won't be released until next year but you won't have to wait that long to try it out. EA revealed today that a demo for the hack-and-slash game will be available through PSN and Xbox Live in December.

The "Gates of Hell" demo takes you through the first level of the game as well as two cutscenes. It includes the first boss fight against Death. You'll kill him and take his scythe, which should come in handy in your journey through Hell.

Dante's will be released on February 9th in North America. Europe will receive the game on February 12th. The game will appear on the PSP as well but there's no mention of a demo for that version.
