“When we set out to bring Mirror’s Edge to a new generation of gamers, we knew
we wanted to deliver on the potential of the first game – building an iconic
heroine in Faith, bringing a beautiful, stylised world to life, and delivering
fluid first person action,” says Sara Jansson, Senior Producer at DICE. “In
Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, you will get to feel what it’s like to glide across the
skyline of the city. You will get to know what it feels like to be a projectile
who plows through your opponents. And you will get to experience Faith’s story.”
In Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, you will experience the rise of Faith, a daring
Runner who uncovers a hidden truth within the walls of the city of Glass.
Through her journey, Faith will explore every corner of the city, from the
highest, most pristine skyscrapers, to the dark and gritty tunnels that lie
beneath. Players will need to master the environment, using their momentum and
timing their combat to fight the oppression of the ruling elite, uncovering the
dark secrets behind the city’s beautiful façade. Mirror’s Edge Catalyst gives
players the freedom to explore the entire city, discovering a variety of new
activities, like ‘Dash’, races from point A to B, environmental puzzles and
story missions to complete at their own pace.
For players that want to show off their perfect technique or how well they’ve
mastered the city can pre-order Mirror’s Edge Catalyst to receive the Combat
Runner Kit or Speed Runner Kit*, respectively. The Combat Runner Kit includes
unique in-game items including a combat-themed Projection Shader, changing how a
player appears in their friend’s game world, a Runner Tag to stand out in the
leaderboards, and a unique background to customize a player’s Screen Hacks. The
Speed Runner Kit also comes equipped with a Projection Shader, Runner Tag and
unique Screen Hack background, but the features are more themed to the speed of
their skill.
