In the newly redesigned "criteriongames.com", a page called "Coming Soon" has been added. This page references four new "packs" coming to Burnout Paradise in the Spring of '09.

Here are the packs and the dates Criterion plans on revealing them:

Burnout Paradise Pack 4 - October 31

Burnout Paradise Pack 5 - November 7

Burnout Paradise Pack 6 - November 14

Burnout Paradise Pack 7 - November 21

We already know one of these is the challenging "Islands" pack and Criterion has already hinted at aircraft coming to the game... that leaves two packs yet to disclosed at all.

So much for the "Year of Paradise". The only question that remains is:

Will this be another free update, or will Criterion charge for it?
