Visceral Games, an EA development studio, has revealed that the Dark Forest DLC included in the Divine Edition of Dante’s Inferno for PS3-only, will also be made available on Xbox 360. Speaking with PlanetXbox360.com during a round-table interview late last night, executive producer Jonathan Knight revealed that while the DLC would be made available for both versions, only those who purchased the Divine Edition for PS3 would get it free (but the pricing structure was not detailed).
Announced back in December, the exclusive PS3 Divine version includes developer commentaries, the free DLC, a Wayne Barlowe digital art book, the game’s soundtrack and a digital version of the complete Longfellow translation of Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, all for the standard retail price of $60. It would be an understatement to say that Xbox 360 owners felt a little hoodwinked by Visercal Games. In the game, Dark Forest is a prequel level where Dante’s lost in the forest and feeling a bit disoriented. In the epic poem, this beginning stage was described by Dante Aligeri rather vaguely, so this gave Visceral free reign to explore all the possibilities. We got a ton of more information from the roundtable call last night so look forward to mounds of Dante's Inferno details over the next couple weeks.
