MotorStorm: PR DLC to Double the Tracks, Rides, Modes

“Lunatics Unite!” Adding to the free titles updates MotorStorm : Pacific Rift has received this year, the PlayStation Blog just announced that more downloadable content will be revealed at E3.

The two new packs, Expansion: SPEED and Expansion: ADRENALINE, seem pretty hefty as far as DLC expansion packs go. From the PS Blog:

Expansion: SPEED will be the first off the start line, and screams into view fully tanked up with MotorStorm goodness; 3 brand new tracks (Quicksands, Engorged and Dark Fire Swamp), 3 brand new track variants, 4 sweet new vehicles (sporting 3 paint jobs each) and a whole brand new 48-event Mini-Festival, ‘Speed Weekend’, packed with unlockable rewards, trophies and Microbadges.

Expansion: ADRENALINE is racing along beside it, neck-and-neck, and bringing with it even MORE content! 3 MORE new tracks (Reefrunner, Brimstone and Hollowed Earth), 5 new track variants, 4 more exclusive new race machines (each with 3 liveries to choose from), 6 brand new characters (each sporting 3 different costumes), and a whole big fat stash of fresh new paint jobs for your existing vehicles.”

That’s a lot of tracks and new things to drive. The addition of more Trophies and Microbadges is also a welcome plus.

If you haven’t heard, Microbadges are basically the same as Trophies, except that they’re awarded for doing different things. The coolest part is that Microbadges are actually “wearable” in game, under your PSN name when you play online. Think of them as Trophies  people will actually see without having to do a background check on you by pulling up your PSN profile card. Meaningless? Perhaps, but if you’ve ever been one to work toward badges and ranks on a forum, you should be familiar  with the appeal.

Expect videos one E3 hits, as well as price points to be announced.
