EA INVITES PSP OWNERS TO GO TO HELL

EA Redwood Shores’ Dante’s Inferno Coming to Sony’s PlayStation Portable.

Alongside PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360

Redwood City, CA – April 22, 2009 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS)
today announced that its highly anticipated action adventure game
Dante’s InfernoTM will be coming to the PSP® (Sony PlayStation®
Portable). Based on part one of Dante Alighieri’s classic, “The Divine
Comedy,” EA’s Dante’s Inferno will also take players on an epic
adventure through Dante’s famously mapped nine circles of hell. Dante’s
Inferno will be available simultaneously for the PSP, the PLAYSTATION®3
computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360® videogame and
entertainment system next year.

Dante’s Inferno for the PSP is being developed by EA’s award-winning EA
Redwood Shores studio and Artificial Mind and Movement (A2M), based in
Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

“Our team and the team at A2M are taking the vision for Dante’s Inferno
and translating it directly to the PSP,” said Jonathan Knight,
executive producer and creative director on Dante’s Inferno. “PSP
owners can expect to get the same level of fast, responsive gameplay
through all nine detailed and unique circles of hell we are aiming to
achieve on the consoles.”

Alighieri’s “Dante’s Inferno” is widely credited for being the work
that has defined the western world’s contemporary conception of hell
and purgatory. Just like the poem, players of EA’s 3rd person action
adventure game will descend through all nine circles of hell: limbo,
lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery,
playing as Dante as they battle through a gauntlet of unimaginable
evils, fighting to recapture the soul of his beloved Beatrice.
