BURNOUT PARADISE: BIG SURF ISLAND

A Whole New Driving Playground

“If you know Paradise City, you’ll be familiar with the huge, under-construction suspension bridge that leads into the ocean to the East of Downtown Paradise. But the question we’ve been asked by so many fans is – what’s on the other side of the bridge?

This Summer, the bridge will finally open when we release for download and purchase – Big Surf Island – Burnout Paradise’s most-anticipated Premium Downloadable Pack.

The island is roughly the size of Downtown Paradise, but features gameplay unlike any other area in the game. We’re running with the mantra “if you can see it, you can drive it” to introduce a new level of freedom to Burnout Paradise, and the island also features some big air jumps – the largest on the game.”
