Electronic Arts has reinterpreted Dante Alighieri's epic poem as a video game. The plot description from the game's website has the hero, Dante, attempting to rescue the soul of his lover from Hell.
Inspired by the real Dante Alighieri, but adapted for a new generation and a new medium, the hero of the game is a soldier who defies death and fights for love against impossible odds. The Italian mercenary Dante returns home from the wars to find that his beloved Beatrice has been murdered, and her soul pulled down into Hell by a dark force. He gives chase, and vows to get her back. For weapons, he wields Death's soul-reaping scythe, and commands holy powers of the cross, given to him by Beatrice.
The release date of the game is February, 2010. Reuters says epic poem are worked into the game. Take a look:
