The Dante's Inferno Ending Set Up a Perfect Sequel: Where is Purgatorio?
I’m posting this because Dante's Inferno absolutely needs to make a comeback. To this day, it is still the closest thing to the classic God of War style in terms of pure, satisfying hack-and-slash gameplay. The combat was fluid, the world design was incredible, and EA is just sitting on a massive franchise that deserves a modern revival.
If you remember the ending of the original game, Dante frees Beatrice and is about to head toward Heaven, but Lucifer bursts free from his icy prison as a spirit or snake-like entity, laughing because the threat isn't truly over. The story was explicitly set up for a sequel based on the next part of the epic poem: Purgatorio.
We even got that amazing animated movie, Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic, which used six different animation studios to show off different art styles and expand the universe. The passion for this world was definitely there.
It makes no sense why EA just abandoned this after one game. Whether it’s a full sequel called Dante's Purgatory, a complete remake, or even just a modern remaster of the original so we can play it easily on current hardware, this IP deserves respect.
Who else out there wants to see Visceral's vision finally finished?
