Today is the day that gamers have been waiting for, DICE have officially revealed that Mirrors Edge 2, will be called Mirrors Edge: Catalyst. The Swedish developer was also very keen to note that the game is not a sequel, but is in fact a new vision “that honours the new game”
This confirmation comes after EA yesterday filed a trademark and domain for the title. Mirrors Edge Catalyst will also be shown at E3 next week, after being announced 2 years ago at E3 2013, that is according to a message posted up on the games official site by Senior Producer, Sara Jansson.
“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 gameplay 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,”
says Jansson.
“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.”
Mirrors Edge Catalyst is penciled in for an early 2016 release, but we will find out more about the game next week in LA during E3 2015.
