Rome, Italy – June 11, 2026 – Publisher Entalto Publishing and developer ONE O ONE GAMES have released a brand-new trailer and playable demos for The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline, locking in momentum ahead of its newly announced September 10th, 2026 launch date. The new trailer was unveiled during the Italian Videogame Awards ceremony, where it captured the attention of both the audience and the jury. The event provided the perfect stage to present the game, celebrating Italian creativity and excellence in game development while highlighting a project deeply rooted in one of Italy’s most iconic literary legacies.
The occasion was made even more meaningful by its setting in Florence, the birthplace of Dante Alighieri and the city that inspired much of his life and work. As The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline draws directly from Dante’s universe and reimagines his legacy through a dark, narrative-driven adventure, showcasing the game in Dante’s hometown felt particularly fitting.
In The Alighieri Circle, you are Gabriele Alighieri. You are not a soldier, nor a hero. Only a man crushed by a legacy you never asked for. Every 33 years, the barrier between our reality and Hell fades. To protect your family and the world you know, you must perform The Ritual, returning to your ancestral Italian villa to accept a destiny you have spent your life running from. Shunning traditional combat and cheap jump scares, the gameplay relies on psychological tension and environmental puzzle-solving, featuring:
- Two Converging Realities: Navigate a melancholic Italian villa filled with family secrets, alongside "The Dive"—a surreal reflection of the mind where the afterlife externalizes inner guilt.
- Esoteric Investigation: Decipher complex riddles and piece together hidden diary pages to uncover the tragic history of the Alighieri bloodline.
Coinciding with the trailer, the development team has rolled out free playable demos across multiple platforms. This global release gives console and PC players immediate access to the game's initial chapter, letting them test the environmental mechanics and narrative tone firsthand before the full version arrives this fall.
No time to waste! Experience the demo right now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, watch the new trailer, and add the game to your wishlist ahead of September 10th. Follow @AlighieriCircle on every social media platform to make sure you are up to date with all the news and to support the project!
