Visceral Games has revealed that there will be a demo for Dante’s Inferno this December for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The ‘Gates of Hell’ demo includes the entire opening level and gives gamers a taste of Visceral Games’ adaptation of Dante Alighieri’s epic poem, The Divine Comedy.

The ‘Gates of Hell’ demo will introduce players to the game’s hero, epic story and intense action gameplay, tracing Dante’s battles from the surface all the way to the Gates of Hell. Players will experience fast-paced hack-n-slash combat as they fend off waves of enemies before taking on the ultimate battle against Death.

After defeating this boss, Dante will be armed with Death’s scythe, a powerful holy cross, and will be ready to tear open the Gates of Hell. The demo also features two cinematic movies made by Blur, the award-winning visual effects, animation and design studio.
