Dante's Inferno Death Edition
EA2/5/2010REGION 2

Abandon all hope, ye who pass on this one. The Dante's Inferno Death Edition on PlayStation 3 is a collector's package that leans hard into the cross-pollination of EA's late-2000s franchises, bundling an exclusive Dead Space suit for Dante as a playable character skin. Yes, you read that correctly.

Dante, descending through the nine circles of Hell, wearing Isaac Clarke's engineering rig. It's the kind of bonkers crossover that only existed in the PS3 era. Beyond that gloriously weird costume, the Death Edition is stacked with digital content that actually has substance.

A making-of documentary, a "Dante in History" documentary, and "Scoring the Inferno," which pulls back the curtain on the game's soundtrack, all sit alongside the full game OST itself. Wayne Barlowe's digital artbook is a highlight for anyone who appreciates the grotesque beauty of his creature designs, the same artist whose hellscape illustrations influenced the game's visual direction. You also get a scene from the animated epic and a digital reprint of Dante Alighieri's complete poem, because nothing pairs with a hack-and-slash action game quite like 14th-century Italian literature.

This edition understood its own absurdity and committed fully. For collectors who appreciate when a publisher throws everything at the wall with genuine enthusiasm, the Death Edition delivers.
