Criterion Games has announced it will be releasing Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box in February, and will see the debut of the game on PC.

A special edition release, the Ultimate Box includes the award-winning Burnout Paradise game, the previously-released Cagney and Bikes downloadable content updates, plus the brand new Burnout Paradise Party pack.

Gamers in Europe will be able to get the bundle in stores for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC from 6 February. The Party pack will also be available separately for those who already have the game.

It will bring Burnout Paradise into an offline multiplayer mode which allows up to eight friends to compete in different stunt, speed and skill events.

The Party pack will also include a host of new features including a restart option added for racing, easier control of the early vehicles, and for the PS3 the new Burnout Paradise Network.

The Burnout Paradise Network is a live news page that enables players to keep track of friends and keep up with all the latest Burnout news from either inside or outside the game.

There's no price for either the Ultimate Box or the Party pack as yet, but we'll let you know when we get an update.
