Rage: The Scorchers DLC detailed through new achievements
by Andrew Yoon, Nov 29, 2012 3:45pm PSTOriginally outed this summer, it appears "The Scorchers" DLC for Rage is finally inching closer to release. A new set of trophies for the PS3 version of the game have popped up, confirming the impending release of the add-on whilst shedding some light on what to expect.
The Scorchers were originally intended to be a clan in the original release of the game. The upcoming DLC expansion appears to offer not only new missions, but weapons and mini-games to play through as well.
Five trophies are specifically tied to completing missions in the add-on campaign, so we can expect at least five missions. Other trophies discovered by PS3Trophies.org detail two mini-games: Roly-Poly and Video Poker. Finally, there are two achievements tied to using weapons in a specific way.
Oddly, Bethesda has yet to officially announce this expansion. One wonders exactly how much marketing muscle they'll put behind an add-on to a game that is already over a year old.

The Scorcher cars are in the game as opponents in the Wasteland near the highway onramps; I'm guessing that Id was working on the rest of the Scorcher assets in the middle of cert process, and planning it as follow-up DLC for December 2011, but then that got frozen after Bethesda wound down funding after the sales figures came in, and Id had to perform a then-unheard-of post-release layoff round.
They were definitely considering DLC; back in August 2009, Tim Willits interviewed by Chris Faylor:

Shack: So, what's that mean for Rage DLC?
Tim Willits: For us, 100% of the guys are working on getting the game done. Trust me on this one. But we have started conversations with everybody on what works out well. One of the great things about being in the Bethesda family is they've had success, they've been able to do good downloadable content without alienating people.
