The
Mirror's Edge website now
officially announces the
just discovered trademark for
Mirror's Edge Catalyst reveals the title of the next installment in the
parkour action series. Here's word on why this is not a sequel:
Two years
ago we revealed that we
were making a new Mirror’s Edge™. Last year, we gave you a
behind the scenes look
into some of the early progress we had made. And though we haven't said much
else in all that time, we have been listening. Thank you for your incredible
passion and your patience. I'm excited to tell you that it's paid off — by this
time next week, you will have finally seen more of the game at E3.
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.
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 honors 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.
So on behalf on the entire team here at DICE, we can’t wait to show you what we
have been pouring our heart and soul into. We can’t wait to introduce you to
Mirror’s Edge™ Catalyst.
