Mirrors edge 1 released back in 2008 and soon became a
popular game due to its original concept of 1st person parkour and for the
longest time felt like it deserved a follow up sequel. Now mirrors edge didn't
exactly have a nut gripped story that really got you stuck in.. it was more
about doing sweet jumps and slides in 1st person!
Last year our dream came true and EA announced the sequel
and all was great with a little teaser trailer. However today new details arose
confirming Mirrors edge 2 would not be the title of the game and it would not
be a direct sequel, yet a remastering of the game mechanics with a following story line.
The title of the new 1st person parkour simulator would be called
Mirrors Edge: Catalyst and will build on the game play and expand the way we
play 1st person games!
Sara Jansson had this to say
“Mirror’s Edge has always had a special place in the hearts of all of us at DICE. The first game had a lot of promise. It was unlike anything else in terms of the game play and style — it had a unique soul. But as much as we loved that game, we knew it could be more. So that’s what we have set out to do as we introduce Mirror’s Edge to a new generation.
“The
team has spent a lot of time re-evaluating every aspect of the game and making
it a new experience. This is not a sequel; this is not Mirror’s Edge 2. We have
landed on a vision that honours the first game — pushing the boundaries of
first person movement and diving deeper into the story behind our heroine Faith
— but also brings a lot of great new, interesting gameplay and features to the
experience for our players.”
This news comes to us weeks before the popular games
convention E3 so maybe they have a little game play in store to show us! Let’s hope
so!
