Is there such a thing as too much Satan in a video game? From the demon-slaying chaos of Devil May Cry, to the time EA faked a Christian protest and sent reviewers Rick-rolling “bombs,” we’re diving into gaming’s unholy obsession with Hell.
This week, Judas and Lexi unpack why developers keep turning the afterlife into a boss fight — including how a bored Resident Evil 4 development team accidentally created the Devil May Cry franchise, why EA relied on fake outrage to sell Dante’s Inferno, and the deeply normal world of Shin Megami Tensei, where God and Lucifer basically run competing apocalypse cults. We also uncover The Turtle Truth: why Bowser is technically a Japanese “Great Demon King” and what that means for your childhood.
