In a trailer released yesterday for Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, Criterion has hinted that police will be returning to Burnout in a future DLC pack.

At the sixty second mark the trailer shows Burnout Paradise's new 'Burnout Store' with a mouse hovering over a button marked with a PCPD badge, which we presume to be an abbreviation of Paradise City Police Department. Underneath the button are the words 'Coming Soon'.

Criterion plans to release Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box on Xbox 360, PS3 and - for the first time - PC from 6th February.

Inside is the full game plus all of the free updates so far, including the Bikes Pack, Codename: Cagney Pack, Trophy support and much more.

The brand new premium Party Pack will also be stuffed in. This goes live independently on Thursday 5th February, but has yet to be given a price.

The Party Pack adds an offline pass-the-pad-style multiplayer mode for up to eight people. This picks players at random and assigns them a variety of tasks, such as landing barrel rolls, surviving oncoming traffic or simply beating a time while racing around at track.

Coinciding with the launch of the Party Pack will be a free update adding things like an in-game website and store to Burnout Paradise - plus overhauls for various modes, visuals and the entire vehicle dynamics system.

Criterion tells us the patch will be "massive", but Eurogamer heard that one before.

After the insane amounts of free Burnout Paradise DLC that Criterion has released, it's hardly surprising that the developer has decided to get paid for its next batch of downloadable treats.

The upcoming Big Surf Island update for the ball-out racer was previously touted as free content, like previous DLC packages, but Criterion has confirmed that it will instead be "premium paid-for content".

It didn't reveal a price, but to be fair the update looks bloody brilliant so we wouldn't mind handing over a few quid.
