A DLC titled "Trials of St. Lucia" was released on April 29th, 2010.

 

* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: The sinners Dante encounters in the book are all there, and you get the option of forgiving them or smiting them. They even say a lot of the same things. Virgil's speeches are mostly accurate. Even the original political satire survived mostly intact ("In these popes and cardinals, greed suffered its excess") The design of the Nine Circles in game is actually quite accurate with Alighieri's descriptions (except for the level of Greed, and the changes there are understandable). About the only thing that's really different is Dante himself, and the whole "Famous pagans as lords of hell" thing. Also, a few politically incorrect things, like Mohammad in hell, and crusaders in heaven have been taken out as well.

** The Gates of Hell. The Gate itself was modeled after Auguste Rodin's [[wikipedia:The Gates of Hell|Gates of Hell]], which was described in Dante's Inferno to have a sign at the top that read a poem<ref>''Through me the way to the suffering city; Through me the everlasting pain; Through me the way that runs among the Lost. Justice urged on my exalted Creator: Divine Power made me, The Supreme Wisdom and the Primal Love. Nothing was made before me but eternal things And I endure eternally. Abandon all hope - Ye Who Enter Here.''</ref> about Hell. The sign itself was removed from the Door and is instead spoken by Charon (who is also half-demon half-ship and not a boatman demon)

* [[Building Swing]]: One of Dante's primary means of locomotion.

* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: Subverted; Dante's father taunts him to do it, but Dante absolves him instead of punishing him. Dante's father's last words to his son are:

* [[Censor Steam]]: Subverted in the final cutscene.

* [[Collapsing Lair]]: Lust and Heresy.

* [[The Determinator]]: Dante starts out his quest by killing Death, the proceeds to bring a one man holy war down upon all of the legions of hell that dare to stand in his way, up to and including the Devil himself.

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: The nameless assassin, in retaliation for {{spoiler|Dante sleeping with his wife as part of a deal for freedom which Dante actually honored, a deal that ''she'' offered}}, {{spoiler|kills Dante, travels all the way to Europe to find Dante's home, and kills Dante's father and his love Beatrice}}. His [[The Determinator|determination]] is nearly on Dante's level.

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Lust is a [[Freud Was Right|Freudian nightmare]], and it's not subtle about it.

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Well, the [[Captain Obvious|Suicides forest]]. At one point Dante is influenced by a demonic tree and, if not quick enough, kills himself.

* [[Large Ham]]: Many; King Minos, Lucifer, and the [[No Name Given|cutscene bishop]] are the most obvious examples.

** One of the damned souls in Heresy gives us a fine exemple of scenery chewing:

* [[Like a Badass Out of Hell]]: Dante.

* [[Load-Bearing Boss]]: Cleopatra.
