Ladies and Gentlemen. EA has brought us a DLC to their most recent action title, Dante’s Inferno; and it will only have been 2 months after its rlease!

“I am Lucia of Syracuse, patron saint of the blind – persecuted by my pagan suitor, eyes plucked from my head, my body tortured and defiled… Yet I have seen the glory in Paradise. I will be your protector, Dante, as you seek to find light out of your dark past. And I will prepare you for the challenge ahead. These are the Trials of Saint Lucia.”

From the sound of it, seems like the expansion pack will feature a series of challenges, perhaps objective based stages through which Dante will have to make his way through, of course, with the help of St. Lucia.

This isn’t just another regular expansion pack with more levels to play. This DLC will feature online co-op gameplay featuring Dante and St. Lucia, as well as a full-featured combat editor allowing players to not only create their very own challenge, but also upload and share with others. Check out the fact sheet below:

• St. Lucia – A New Playable Character – Play as the beautiful and deadly St. Lucia of Syracuse; this battle-ready angel can fly and wields all new moves and combos.
• Online Co-Operative Play – Choose Dante or St. Lucia and play co-operatively online; combine battle tactics with other players to defeat online Trials and earn a ranking on the Inferno leaderboards.
• Create Combat Trials – Create your own Trials with a full-featured combat editor, pick from new locations, create waves featuring new and existing Dante’s Inferno enemies, tune and script them, add traps, obstacles & aid… then upload and share your creations online.
• Challenge Yourself & Other Players– Download and play other players’ Trials or try your hand at beating EA’s increasingly dangerous single and two-player Trials for medals, leaderboard scores, and achievements/trophies.
• Rate Trials – Provide a 1 to 5 star rating for Trials that you play. The online community will help the best Trials rise to the top!
• Rank on the Worldwide Leaderboards – Compare your worldwide standings as Player and/or Creator.

The Trials of Lucia DLC will be available worldwide on April 29th, 2010 for $9.99/ 800 MS Points.
