We've already posted part one of the developer walkthrough of the Dante's Inferno DLC called The Trials of St. Lucia.  In it we were given tips on how to overcome the trials with our co-op partner, as well as the best way to find user created levels.  Part 2 guides us on how we can go about creating those levels, and the best way to create trials that are not only fun, but rewarding.

The Dante's Inferno co-op DLC is almost here, with a planned release for April 29th of this month on both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.  Called The Trials of St. Lucia, players can play online in two player co-op against waves of enemies with set goals per wave.  These waves are completely user customizable, which can then be shared online for others to download.

It's been a few weeks since we previewed the upcoming Dante's Inferno DLC.  We're inching closer to it's April 29th release date, but are left to wonder - why wasn't this included with the retail release of the game?

Last week at EA's Spring event we got our hands on a new piece of content for the action game, Dante's Inferno. Called the Trials of St. Lucia this two player co-op mode allows customization of levels, twelve different styles of play, and level sharing.

Welcome to Beyond Co-Op, a weekly piece that talks about industry stories that may or may not be related to co-op gaming.

EA is going to have one advantage for it's competition when Dante's Inferno launches next week - online co-op.  Often rumored in God of War 3 which arrives a month later, Dante's Inferno will be getting an online co-op challenge mode for two players in the downloadable content pack called Trials of St. Lucia.
