EA has released the story trailer for Dante’s Inferno, hinting at a save-the-princess plot underlining the action. The video also highlights the game’s impressive visuals, depicting visions of hell and creature designs drawn from the classic work of literature that inspired it.

There’s a nifty intro sequence depicting scenes woven into a tapestry, although the illustrations don’t resemble anything in Dante’s Divine Comedy. As the trailer moves into in-game action and glimpses of hell’s minions, there s clear evidence the developers and artists pored over their nearly 700 year old source material. There’s even a glimpse of the inferno boss himself.
