Dante's Inferno Preview

VideoGamer.com: What will happen after the game is released? Will you support it after launch with DLC?

JK: We're definitely going to support the game after launch. I can't get into any specifics right now. We're still focused on finishing the base game. There isn't anything up and running with regards to post-release. So even if I could talk about it, there isn't a lot to talk about, that I'd be willing to commit to anyway. It's a big universe. I have all kinds of ideas about what we can and what I hope we will do. I just can't give you any specifics right now.

VideoGamer.com: Would you like to do a sequel? Does Dante's Inferno have the scope to be a franchise?

JK : It does, and I would personally like to. But that's Jonathan talking here. That's not EA talking. The reality is we're putting everything we have into this game. We don't want to count our chickens before they hatch or take our eye off the ball in any way. We're finishing strong. There's a lot more we have to do. We're putting in a cool challenge mode - a sort of arena mode that unlocks after you finish the game. We're working on a lot of awesome special features, a bunch of linear content that's going on the disc, a lot of stuff people who are interested in the literature are going to value, documentaries, and things like that.

VideoGamer.com: Can you talk more about what kind of backstory features you'll have?

JK: No, just to say we are putting some documentaries on the disc.

VideoGamer.com: Live action documentaries?

JK: Yeah. About the making of the game, the history of the poem, and how the two come together. When people get the disc in their hands, by that time maybe there will be more news about post-release content as we, once the game is finished, start to look toward other things. It's a big universe. We're focused on this right now. If it does well and people respond to it, it wouldn't shock anyone that we would do a sequel. But we're not thinking about it too hard right now.

Dante's Inferno is due out on Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP on February 12, 2010.
