Police coming to Burnout Paradise?


15:4128/01/2009Posted by David Scammell5 Comments

In a trailer released yesterday for Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, Criterion has hinted that police will be returning to Burnout in a future DLC pack.

At the sixty second mark the trailer, which we’ve embedded below, shows Burnout Paradise’s new ‘Burnout Store’ with a mouse hovering over a button marked with a PCPD badge, which we presume to be an abbreviation of Paradise City Police Department. Underneath the button are the words ‘Coming Soon’.

Police last appeared in the Burnout series way back in Burnout 2: Point of Impact where the game’s Pursuit mode allowed players to chase after criminals and take them down. The mode transformed into Road Rage for future iterations.

Criterion has stated that there is lots more downloadable content to come for Burnout Paradise, but could a police pack be one of them…?

UPDATE: Take a look at the split second footage around the 19 second mark. Police cars confirmed? And is the license plate suggesting a July 31st release?

    even though there’s already the Hunter Citizen, that looked like a completely new car. I have heard talk of police in the game, but i forget where

    I don’t think that the license plate indicates a July 31th release, it’s the same number (731) as can be seen on the read bumper.

    On top of falling for the Citizen’s squad car number, they also managed to miss the first public picture of the Second Boost Special car. Seen at 1:01…
