Has been a huge success! Listen to what Simon Phipps had to say about what was in the Codename: Cagney Update:
This was the much-hyped FREE downloadable pack for Burnout Paradise, bringing fans a live blog page and game event calendar, 70 new Freeburn Challenges, 3 online game modes (Marked Man, Stunt Run and Road Rage), plus a stack of changes and improvements to the game, including support for 1080i displays and improved image-quality on standard def TVs.
Well there’s been a great traffic spike in the online participants, that’s always great news! And check out “the stunning Nakamura Rai-jin Turbo” that was available “to all players last week. You’ll need all your skills to control Paradise City’s newest and fastest car.” Keep an eye on that Event Calendar so you know when you can enter the events yourself!
For more information and for some nice new cars hit the jump!
What next? The Hunter Olympus that was made available Thursday, “As you can see from the shots, this car is a beast. It’ll breeze through traffic,” sounds like it’ll be fun to drive, and looks nice.
The next update will bring the new bikes into Paradise which should be ready by the end of August.
Expect all the detail on how we’re integrating Trophies around then.
I can tell you this much – we locked our in-game awards to your save game, when we built Paradise. That means when we ship the Trophy functionality, it’ll be pay-day, if you’ve already made progress in the game!
Oh and those cars? They’re online-only cars, you have to go into any junkyard and they’ll be on the right of the car collection.
“We’ll bring you news on the forthcoming Tiger GT and Tempesta Dream paint-job soon.”

And as a side note, this update will not be making it to the 360 version until at lesat the first week in August. “We’re currently aiming for 4th August. That’s the EARLIEST we can expect it to be available.”
