Dante's Inferno Sequel Must Be Earned Says Director Jonathan Knight


Jonathan Knight told Playstation: The Official Magazine "I was going to do a very dark, mature action adventure game set in Hell, and they said: 'Go for it!" However when asked about a sequel to Dante's Inferno, he was cautious, very cautious.

PTOM: "If Dante's Inferno does well, are sequels inevitable-especially since Inferno is only the first part of The Divine Comedy? It's a classic trilogy that would easily lend itself to a videogame adaptation if Dante takes hold."

Jonathan Knight: "I barely have time to think about what's going on at home! But you have to earn the right to do a sequel."

In the interview Jonathan also spoke about the game setting and his desire to do a game set in Hell, which is interesting to say the least.

PTOM: "I'm in a really great studio full of plenty of awesome gamers, and they really just got it straight away. I had this idea of a game set in Hell, and I started doing some research, and one of the first things I read was Dante's Inferno. I hadn't read it before, but I was still very familiar with it, as a lot of people are, I just thought: "we gotta do this as a videogame; it's perfect material." So I went in and said I was going to do a very dark, mature action adventure game set in Hell and they said: "Go for it!"

He went for it alright, now let's see if he delivers. Dante's Inferno will be out February 10th 2010 for the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and on February 9th 2010 on PSP.
