Are you ready to go to Hell?  Well, EA and critically acclaimed development studio Visceral Games (the master minds behind Dead Space) announced that you will be able to do so in February 2010.  North America will receive the game first on February 9, and Europe will have to wait an extra three days (just like Battlefield: Bad Company 2) and will hit store shelves across the continent on February 12. 

For those of you that don't know, the game is based on part one of Dante Alighieri's epic poem "The Divine Comedy".  Players will take on the role of Dante as he travels through Alighieri's nine circles of Hell, which are limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery.  In doing this, Dante is driven to save the soul of his love Beatrice, who was dragged through the gates of Hell by Lucifer.

The game will also be backed be a comic book series, which will launch on December 9, 2009 and will span six issues.
