Today EA announced the development of Burnout Paradise, a new entry in the company’s crash-centric racing series. Except this time, it’s not just about racing. Paradise will be totally open ended, giving players the chance to explore the city, discover events, and look for the best opportunities to crash, jump and pull signature takedowns.

Burnout Paradise is slated for release this Winter for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
