Criterion puts the brakes on hopes for more Burnout Paradise DLC
You probably got that idea already, considering nothing but the sound of crickets and tumbleweeds have emerged from Criterion HQ since the release of the last bit of Burnout Paradise DLC, Big Surf Island. A tweet from the company account confirms our fears, stating there will be “no more” DLC and that the company “did WAY more than everyone else.” That’s all well and good, but it doesn’t slake our need for more amazing DLC!
So there you have it. The world is a colder and darker place today. If you need us, we’ll be Freeburning our troubles away online, pining for what could have been.

Criterion details Burnout Paradise DLC that never was
You gotta give it up to Criterion Games. Throughout the lifespan of Burnout Paradise, the developers at Criterion worked their buns off to give us all kinds of juicy DLC, from a new island to explore, a new game mode, right down to motorcycles and many, many car packs. Now, the company has prepared a lengthy diatribe documenting some of the updates that never got off the ground.
For one, did you know that Criterion initially planned to have motorcycles vs cars? Yep, sure was planned — and did you know that Criterion wanted to create a whole series of islands, not just the one? The devs even wanted to give players the ability to go to the moon, complete with lunar challenges for Freeburn addicts. Also: the planes thing wasn’t an April Fool’s joke — the dev actually wanted to add them (and other vehicles) into the game.
Overall, it’s a pretty great read, if only to show you just how committed the studio was to the game and raising the bar for DLC in general.

Unlock Legendary cars (for free!) in Burnout Paradise: Big Surf Island
Don’t want to pony up the $8 to download Burnout Paradise’s premium “Legendary” cars? Well, here’s a cheaper alternative: buy Big Surf Island for $13, as it includes special toy versions of all four DLC cars. You can get a cute mini version of the hovering 88 Special (pictured above), Bootlegger, Manhattan Spirit and GT Nighthawk by completing various tasks around the new Burnout island:
- Toy Hunter Cavalry Bootlegger - Jump from all 15 Island Mega Jumps
- Toy Jansen P12 88 Special - Hit all 45 Island Billboards
- Toy Carson GT Nighthawk - Complete all 24 Island Road Rules (Timed & Showtime)
- Toy Hunter Manhattan Spirit - Hit all 75 Island Smashes
We’ll admit that we were too cheap to pay for the Legendary DLC, but with a little bit of skill, we’ll be able to drive our own Ghostbusters-inspired car in no time.
