Criterion games isn't slouching one bit when it comes to bringing fans of their Burnout series the best game possible. With their second major update expected to release at 9:00 AM GMT on July 10, fans of the series may start to become spoiled.

Criterion released the official patch date for the Cagney update and also included a slew of details for gamers to check out. We've included below the majority of those details and we'll provide you with a link at the bottom to check out the rest of the patches and fixes that Cagney will correct.
 

3 New Freeburn Game Modes:

Road Rage
- 8-player team event. One team must race through a series of Paradise City checkpoints. The other team must stop them.
- Cue incredible chases and battling through the city, tons of voice communication as players co-ordinate their efforts.

Stunt Run (vs)

- Pull stunts to score points - hit barriers, billboards and ramps; ace barrel rolls, flat spins and massive airtime to score big. Everybody competes to simultaneously reach the biggest total. Hit your rivals to kill their scores and gain multipliers.

Marked Man

- A player is selected at random and everyone gangs up to take them down. The Marked Man scores for reaching the end point intact and taking anyone down along the way.

70 New Freeburn Challenges
- 70 new timed multi-part Freeburn Challenges
- Leaderboards for these challenges that log your best time (as well as those people who did it with you)

Vehicles

    Hmm, custom soundtracks update so close to a speculated major FW update?

    Seems too much of a coincidence.

    somethin tells me that since they are adding individual custom soundtrack support, the FW wont be for a while after that... why would they do that if its supposed to be out so soon? doesnt make sense.

    psn id: gingo.... some of the extra modes and stuff look be excellent especially all for the princely sum of free, custom soundtracks is a needed feature for every game and its great to finally get this

    How about adding the ability to re-start a poxy race, now that would be a worthwile update, THEN i might start playing it again, and THEN i might try to complete it, were as at the mo its just a pain in the a55 long drawn out process.
