In the upcoming Dante's Inferno, Dante is going to be one angry son-of-a-bitch. His true love has been kidnapped by Satan who has taken her into his lair, and for real, dude seems pissed off about it. He slaps the Grim Reaper silly, jacks his scythe, and proceeds to wreak havoc on the souls of the damned in a mad attempt to get her back. And in a new developer diary from Visceral Games, Dante's anger is given the front-and-center treatment.

This is the first time the dev team has discussed the use of Dante's cross as a ranged stunning weapon, which is described in the video as "similar to the Force in Star Wars". It is used to momentarily daze enemies, allowing the pissed-off protagonist to move in and scythe them to pieces. And speaking of that scythe, Visceral also shows off some of the diverse moves that that weapon will be capable of. From the long-range slicing tool, to a more pointed stabbing weapon, and then even being used as almost a dagger, Dante is going to have some options with his co-opted primary weapon. And he's going to be angry. Really angry.
