Electronic Arts and Criterion Games announced the release date for its Davis update, now called the Bike Pack, for Burnout Paradise today. This Thursday, September 18 ^th , Burnout Paradise players will be able to download this new pack, which features the first appearance of bikes in the Burnout franchise, as well as a full day and night cycle (24-hour clock) which will affect available events and turn Paradise City into a more realistic city, where traffic density changes based on the time of day. Watch the sun set at Big Surf, or freeburn on the highway on one of two brand new bikes. The clock speed is also customizable, so the time of day is completely up to you.

With the introduction of bikes to Burnout Paradise also comes the introduction of “human” riders. You can now choose to play as a male or female character and start a whole new run for a Bike License. This latest update also includes 70 more Freeburn Challenges, for some intense biking action. These bike exclusive challenges are split 50-50 between regular and timed.

One final, also major, change comes with the Bike Pack, and that's a dynamic weather system. It may have been sun and surf all day in Paradise City until now, but not anymore. Now, day or night, there is a possibility of showers and, who knows, maybe some snow up in White Mountain. Criterion hasn't divulged much about the new dynamic weather system, so we'll just have to see how it works once we download the pack.
