In ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', when seeing the portal structure to the [[Shield World]] in [[Onyx]]'s [[Core Room Antechamber]], [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez|Mendez]] mentioned that it "reminds [him] of Dante's Inferno." [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Halsey]] corrected him that "Dante's hell was a series of ''descending'' rings," but was interrupted as the area shifted.<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', pg. 347</ref> Additionally, ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' has drawn some speculation that it was inspired by the poem. In it, [[The Rookie|the protagonist]] is guided through a metaphorical hell by [[Vergil]], a subroutine of the city's [[Superintendent (Construct)|Superintendent]]-class [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]]. Towards the end of the game, he descends to Sublevel 09 of the [[New Mombasa Data Center|Data Center]], where part of it has been frozen, similar to Cocytus, the frozen ninth level of hell.<ref>''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', [[Data Hive (Level)]]</ref>
