Granted, the reviews ofDante’s Infernowere not great, but it still garnered a respectable73 from reviewers and 7.7from users on Metacritic. Yet, there was something special about thisGod of Waralternative that earned a legion of loyal fans.
Following the release ofDante’s Infernoin a somewhat unlucky 13 years ago, there were rumblings of a sequel but obviously those rumblings never came to fruition. As such, fans have been calling for a sequel for over a decade and if that day may never come, some are at least hoping for a modern-day remake or remaster.
As we now know, theDead Spaceremakeproved to be a massive success when it launched earlier this year and it seems that remakes of the sequels are already underway. However, if Electronic Arts were to also commission a remake ofDante’s Inferno, it would surely be a welcomed announcement for fans.

“It is very likely that EA might be planning aDante’s Infernoremake since it did say there was one unannounced remake […] and I’m willing to think that it might just beDante’s Infernosince theDead Spaceremake is now a thing,” speculated MarounAka-Kratos. “Then knowing that EA really likes money, if the game has enough sales, we might just have aDante’s Infernosequel.”
“I don’t want a remake, but rather a remaster that contains all DLC, and features both the single player and multiplayer modes,” said Cobraregala2013. I like that idea too, though if we were ever to get a remake ofDante’s Inferno,I would imagine that much likeThe Last of Us Part Iand the recentRed Dead Redemptionport, multiplayer would likely be cut from the game.
Back in August this year, Electronic Arts announced that it wasshutting down the online serversforDante’s InfernoandDead Space 2this December. Reading between the lines, this could just be a cost-cutting strategy. However, if I were to be a little optimistic, I’d like to think that those servers were shut down to potentially push fans towards unannounced remakes.
WhetherDante’s Infernowill ever get a remake or remaster remains to be seen, though we wouldn’t recommend holding your breath. That being said, whileDante’s Infernoisn’t available via PS Plus at the time of writing, it is at least backwards compatible with Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. What’s more, it’s still available to purchase digitally via the Xbox Marketplace and often appears in discounted sales.
