Aspiring Novelist
The game ain't out yet but the look of the gameplay seems to be like a hack-en-slash genre. Pretty similar to how God of War handles. Though very little has been actually put forth in the trailer. The same folks who gave us Dead Space are working on this game (EA Redwood). It's based on a Italian poem called, Divine comedy written by Dante Alighieri. The inferno part mentions the nine circles of hell which Dante decides to go through. The story may turn out very intriguing, if crafted properly by the developers.

From the interviews I have read, they say Dante will have a Scythe & a Holy Cross. He will gains magic abilities as he progresses (with upgrades of course). You can eve expect boss & sub-boss battles. No release date is provided either. So it's either Q4 this year or next year release.
Allegorically, the Inferno represents the Christian soul seeing sin for what it really is, and the three beasts represent three types of sin: the self-indulgent, the violent, and the malicious.These three types of sin also provide the three main divisions of Dante's Hell: Upper Hell (the first 5 Circles) for the the self-indulgent sins; Circles 6 and 7 for the violent sins; and Circles 8 and 9 for the malicious sins.
