Despite being one of many EA’s (with the emphasis on EA) development studios, Criterion Games has lightened up the official forums by announcing that all the islands in the making for Burnout Paradise will be offered on Playstation Network for free. That is not to say every single piece of downloadable content will be free of charge however, said Criterion’s Alex Ward.

I stated yesterday that access to the new downloadable islands in Burnout Paradise would be free. That’s not to say ALL of the downloadable content we are working on will be free. We will charge (price TBC) for some stuff. What’s important to know is that we see DLC in a totally different way. So far, with many games, DLC has been secondary ‘extras’ type stuff, a different costume in an RPG, a different car in a racing game, and so on. We see DLC as significant additional content which expands the game experience. We see it as continuing to develop the game which we worked on. Taking it further almost to the point of making a new game.

New game modes are very important to us, but it’s about more than that. Expect more details soon, I’d love to say more but we’re still working on this stuff.

There you have it! Expect to see the first batch of DLC “soon.”
