EA today officially revealed the title for Burnout 5 which is in development for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Dubbed Burnout Paradise, and now scheduled for release this Winter, the game will feature an unprecedented detail in crash deformation and an open world environment where the player will be able to “do anything, anywhere, and anytime!”

“We have been working towards Burnout Paradise for quite some time. Next generation consoles have opened up a raft of new gameplay opportunities and the Criterion team has leapt at the chance to innovate and raise the bar to an all-new high,” said Pete Hawley, Executive Producer, Burnout Paradise. “There are going to be some big surprises and a lot of new features but the core of the game is still pure Burnout. Instant accessibility will be reinforced by innovative on-line capabilities which will see Burnout Paradise smash racing conventions.”

Taking place in Paradise City, the player will be able to explore the city, discover events and look for the best opportunities to crash, jump and pull signature takedowns. Below are the first screenshots.
