The folks over at Criterion Games aren’t taking a break from working on their open-world racer Burnout Paradise. The developer announced today that, barring any last-minute delays, the first downloadable bike pack will made available to all PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners of the game next week September 18. It’s free and includes the following:

* Pick from 2 motorcycles featuring male or female characters and start on a whole new progression to earn your Bike License.
* 38 new against-the-clock race events – Burning Ride and Midnight Ride.
* A brand new in-game 24 hr day / night cycle that impacts traffic density and available events. (It’s fully customisable – you can make it day/night/change the clock speed – it’s up to you.)
* Dynamic weather brings an all-new look to Paradise City
* And if that’s not enough, we’ve got 70 more Freeburn Challenges too

If you didn’t catch that last sentence, this pack is completely free. Gotta love Criterion, they just keep on giving and giving.
