New vehicles, weather effects and extra challenges inbound in the next Burnout Paradise expansion. Ooh, thank you please!

It’s all part of the forthcoming ‘Bike Pack‘, which should clue you in about the main treat in store - a choice of two powerful motorcycles plus male or female riders. But, c’mere, there’s plenty more besides, as Criterion Games list on their official site:

· 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).
· Dynamic weather brings an all-new look to Paradise City.
· 70 new bike-specific Freeburn Challenges.

All good, eh? And don’t the bikes look awesome too? Shame there’s not more than the pair on offer here, although we daresay Criterion will sort that situation out in the fullness of time. Until then you should be thankful that all of the above will cost you precisely £0.00 and that you only have to wait until September 18th to lay your grasping paws on it. With that in mind don’t be surprised if we’re a little late with the news this Thursday morning…
