Today Visceral Games revealed the release date for their upcoming third-person action-adventure Dante's Inferno. The medieval literature-inspired hack-and-slasher will arrive in North America on February 9th and February 12th in Europe.

“The Divine Comedy is one of the most influential pieces of literature in the world and we have a great responsibility in re-imagining Dante Alighieri’s vivid descriptions of hell, and the themes of righteousness and redemption he explores,” said executive producer Jonathan Knight. “Our team is dedicated to delivering a stunning and highly polished interpretation of this classic to a new medium for a new generation everywhere this February.”

Like Dead Space, Inferno's release will be accompanied by a couple tie-in products. The first issue of DC Comics / Wildstorm's comic book adaptation of the game will hit stores on December 9th. There will be six issues released in total. Additionally, an animated feature produced by EA and Starz Media will arrive on the same day as the game.
