The latest installment in the Burnout series has been named, and the first screenshots have been revealed!


Electronic Arts confirmed today that the latest installment in the popular Burnout series is currently in development for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, and is now entitled Burnout Paradise.

Next generation technology has allowed the development team to enable “an unprecedented level of crash deformation allowing you to experience the most explosive pile-ups in the series’ history.”

“We have been working towards Burnout Paradise for quite some time. Next generation consoles have opened up a raft of new gameplay opportunities and the Criterion team has leapt at the chance to innovate and raise the bar to an all-new high.”

There are going to be some big surprises and a lot of new features but the core of the game is still pure Burnout. Instant accessibility will be reinforced by innovative on-line capabilities which will see Burnout Paradise smash racing conventions,” said Pete Hawley, Executive Producer on Burnout Paradise.

The game is set in the free-roaming ‘Paradise City’, where players can explore to their hearts content, all the while looking for the best locations to “crash, jump and pull signature takedowns.”

Burnout Paradise is set to launch in the winter, but for now you can check out the first selection of screenshots in our image gallery. Just click on the thumbnail links above this article to be taken straight there.
