Are Gamers Ready For Mirror’s Edge 2?

Are Gamers Ready For Mirror’s Edge 2?

None

DICE is riding high right now on the Battlefield 3 publicity, but they haven’t forgotten about their less popular properties and the ardent fans thereof. I speak particularly of Mirror’s Edge, that oft-forgotten, first-person, parkour platformer that became something of a cult favorite for its addictive, high-rise navigation. Its combat worked against its natural rhythm, and rarely has simply getting from point A to point B in a level been so engaging.

Patrick Liu, a producer at DICE, feels that it might be time for a sequel. In an interview with SPOnG, he said that, “We see that there’s a huge fan following, it’s almost like a cult! And we know what strengths we had, and what weaknesses we had in that game. If we were to release a new game, we’d know what to improve and how to reach a broader audience. So I definitely think there’s a market there.”



This follows on a statement earlier this year by EA Games president Frank Gibeau that Mirror’s Edge is still an important franchise to the publisher. Could we be looking at further adventures with Faith, or in her universe, in the near future?
