Thank Joystiq for this one: they noticed a new trailer for the forthcoming PC release of Burnout Paradise that reveals that the open-world racer will eventually gain a cop pursuit mode as downloadable content.

The trailer shows in-game footage of a cop car, as well as an in-game listing for a downloadable add-on pack that is signified by a police badge. Past entries in the series have had pursuit modes where players took control of a police vehicle and apprehend speeding suspects before reaching the race’s end.

Since its release, Burnout Paradise has received quite a bit of downloadable content that introduces new vehicles, among other things. It is not known if this add-on will be premium or not.
