Dante’s partnerTrish gets her name from Beatrice ofThe Divine Comedy.
Mary is also called the Madonna, which means lady.

However, I was interested to learn thatthe game was also inspired by the novelRed Harvestby Dashiell Hammett.
LikeBlack Myth: Wukong’s Destined One, Sun Wukong is a monkey warrior who wields a magical staff.
