Burnout Paradise speeding onto Switch in June

Classic racing/crashing title Burnout Paradise is on the way back to consoles. It’s set to hit the Switch this June and is ready for pre-order now.

Smash ’em, crash ’em

It has been a while since we’ve seen Burnout as a series. That’s kind of a strange thing, given that the games were pretty darn popular in past generations.

If you haven’t played before, Burnout is a racing series. But it’s one with a hook that other games in the genre don’t have. Namely that Burnout focuses more on crashing than racing.

Now it’s coming back in the form of a remaster of its most recent release, Burnout Paradise.

Burnout Paradise Remastered is the definitive Burnout Paradise experience, delivering the complete original game and eight high-octane DLC packs including Cops and Robbers pack, Legendary Cars, Burnout Bikes, and Big Surf Island. Racers can smash through traffic and rule the roads in adrenaline-fuelled online multiplayer with up to eight other players, or pass the controller (or console!) in local party play. Optimized for the Nintendo Switch with a range of technological enhancements, players will race and rampage through the open world in 60 glorious frames per second, along with high-resolution textures, and pinch-and-pull map controls.
