God Opens the Heavens, EA Confirms New Mirror’s Edge

July 6, 2011

Look, I've said it before, I'll say it again. I disagree with naysayers of Mirror's Edge. Always a point of contention with me. I loved the game. I was so happy that DICE took a departure from shooting everything. People complain about the gunplay being horrible, but that was the whole point! I admit the game's flaws, but I'm extremely happy to hear that EA has confirmed work on a sequel to one of my favorite games in the last 10 years.

Speaking with GameStar, EA Senior Vice President (hmmm, he sounds like he's in charge of something!) Patrick Soderlund confirmed that work was underway on a new Mirror's Edge project:

I loved Mirror's Edge and what we did with ME. We have not abandoned the franchise. And we are working on something, but I'm not willing to talk more than that.

This follows EA Games Label Boss Frank Gibeau's confirmations that ideas for Mirror's Edge 2 were being worked on. He also confirmed that the game would make use of Frostbite 2, Battlefield 3's GORGEOUS new engine.

What do you want to see in a Mirror's Edge 2? What do EA and DICE need to fix?

I attended San Jose State University and graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor's in English and a Minor in Journalism. I've been playing games my whole life and will continue to do so as long as they stay entertaining! Some of my favorite games include Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3, Star Fox 64, Batman: Arkham City, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Counter-Strike: Source, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Dream Land, and the list goes on.
