EA and Visceral Games have announced the Gates Of Hell demo for the horrific hack-'n'-slash

Featuring the entire first level from the game – which is due for release in February next year – the demo "will introduce players to the game’s hero, epic story and intense action gameplay," according to EA.

Players will also be able to get their hands on one of the game's main weapons – Death's scythe – from the man himself. Yep, you'll be able to take on the reaper. The demo also includes two "stunning cinematic movies made by Blur, the award-winning visual effects, animation and design studio."

“Our main goal from the start of this project has been to create a journey that will make gamers truly feel like they are going through hell,” said executive producer Jonathan Knight. “The demo will give everyone some insight into how we are treating the story and a taste of the gameplay. And with nine more circles of hell to explore once the game comes out in February, we are literally just scratching the surface.”
