Burnout Paradise Remastered, a fully spruced up version of 2008's acclaimed high-speed racer, will launch on PS4 and Xbox One on March 16, developer Criterion Games has announced.

The remastered version of the adrenaline-fuelled title will feature the base game plus eight pieces of additional content, which were originally released during the 'Year of Paradise.'

As expected, Burnout Paradise Remastered also benefits from the extra horsepower afforded by Sony and Microsoft's latest consoles, with high resolution textures, 60fps, and 4K support available for the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.

'When people think of Criterion Games, they often remember the Burnout franchise and for good reason. What we created 10 years ago, we feel is still fun and unique to this day in the gaming industry,' said Criterion Games' General Manager, Matt Webster.

'Burnout Paradise is an arcade racer built to provide players the thrill of racing with their friends, in a free form way that was both seamless and immersive, but also a little crazy with all the different stunts and crashes players could pull off. With the release of this remaster, we’re able to share this action-packed ride with a whole new generation of players.'

Burnout Paradise Remastered will be available as a digital download and at retail for £34.99.
