After 9 days of nothing (we’re going to presume they were working really really hard), Criterion Games has finally updated their blog with some big news!  Burnout Paradise is getting its most ambitious, biggest and most badass update this Thursday!  This update used to be called Davis, but was recently renamed (for simplicity’s sake) to Bikes.  Here’s what the update will bring:

• Pick from 2 motorcycles featuring male or female characters and start on a whole new progression to earn your Bike License.

• 38 new against-the-clock race events – Burning Ride and Midnight Ride.

• A brand new in-game 24 hr day / night cycle that impacts traffic density and available events.  (It’s fully customisable – you can make it day/night/change the clock speed – it’s up to you.)

• Dynamic weather brings an all-new look to Paradise City

• And if that’s not enough, we’ve got 70 more Freeburn Challenges too

This looks like a pretty awesome update. Let’s hope the Bikes Update stays on time, unlike Cagney.

Also, for your viewing enjoyment, we’ve thrown all the screenshots that Criterion Games have featured about bikes into our gallery. Take a look below!
