CCRB RECORD No. 0011

Dante's Inferno

Determination: Explicit — Blasphemy 3

A crucifix is reforged into a murder weapon; the game's own marketing staged fake blasphemy protests.

A loose adaptation of the Divine Comedy that reforges its protagonist's crucifix into a bladed weapon. EA's marketing staged a fake “Mass: We Pray” sermon-satire game and hired actors to picket the launch as offended Christians, one sign calling EA the “Anti-Christ” — exposed as manufactured publicity.
