The announcement of an online Beta for racer-come-RPG Blur got everyone scrambling for a key at the beginning of the month. While good fun initially, the excitement wore off for many once they reached the Level 10 limit in place, and thus the number of players online has been waning as of late. To inject some fresh interest, the level cap is being raised this coming Thursday.

With the level cap rising to 15, it means a small amount of new content will be on offer, ranging from cars to mods to challenges. See the list below for the full offering:

Additional Cars Unlocked

• Corvette ZR1 (Class B)
• Koenigsegg CCX-R (Class A)

Additional Mods Unlocked

• Iron Fist (Increases damage of a Power-up hit)
• Last Gasp (Player fires a Barge when Wrecked)

Additional Challenges Unlocked

• Demolition Challenge Pack (16 new challenges)

If you want to be apart of the Beta but haven’t yet got around to getting yourself a code, head over to the official website and follow the instructions specific to your region, you might just be pleasantly surprised.

Blur is set to be released on the 25 May 2010 in the US, with Europe following three days later. Feel free to share your thoughts on the Beta below.
