Ben Cousins, the former executive producer of the Battlefield franchise (who has been hiring a couple of DICE employees to work at ngmoco recently) has said that Mirror's Edge 2 is in production.

Chances are fairly good he would actually know this.

His statements come after DICE mentioned they have 300 staff and are working on more than Battlefield in a tweet linking to said article.

It is general knowledge in the Stockholm dev scene that Mirror's Edge 2 is in production at DICE http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-11-21-dice-we-dont-want-to-become-a-battlefield-factory

Mirrors Edge 2 with Frostbite 2, don't think it could get any better.

Data West · Nov 21, 2012

Cool, I hope this one is longer than 2 hours.

eXistor · Nov 21, 2012

Finally, I was sure it would happen some day; for all the denial, they never seemed to stop talking about it. Now don't fuck it up.

DieH@rd · Nov 21, 2012

Great news.

Opus Angelorum · Nov 21, 2012

Wii U exclusive.

TheBioLover · Nov 21, 2012

If this turns out to be true.......then fuck yes.

luffeN · Nov 21, 2012

With Frostbite 2?

BadWolf · Nov 21, 2012

Yay!

I hate the FPS genre with a passion but Mirrors Edge was something else, loved it so much.

BobTheFork · Nov 21, 2012

I didn't hate Mirrors edge, but why now? If there was enough support or interest shouldn't they have tried to capitalize on it some tme in the last 6 years?

Massa · Nov 21, 2012

Orayn · Nov 21, 2012

So the project has a pulse, that's good. Now we get to worry about them trying to make it appeal to a broader audience.

Woffls · Nov 21, 2012

Can't wait for EA to turn this into an FPS.

Rygar 8 Bit · Nov 21, 2012

EA doing something right

Easier to relaunch IPs near the beginning of a generation.

DICE is also much larger and doing a lot less side work for other studios now.

Cade · Nov 21, 2012

Get ready for multiplayer!

please be good

so1337 · Nov 21, 2012

EA redeemed my body is ready etc. etc.

I liked Mirror's Edge a lot. Like a whole lot.

Kintaro · Nov 21, 2012

What are the odds it will become a shooter?

Co-op and multiplayer shooter, here we come!

Ushojax · Nov 21, 2012

If true I will remain cautious. We all know what EA do when they make a sequel.

Mirror's Edge is a time trial game.

To capitalize on next gen launch?

Koshiro · Nov 21, 2012

This better be true. Don't toy with my heart like this GAF.

legacyzero · Nov 21, 2012

I like the first one. I just hope they add a bit more content than feeling like I'm Trinity running from agents.

Game was gorgeous too.

LeleSocho · Nov 21, 2012

TOO MUCH JOY

Lost Fragment · Nov 21, 2012

Dachande · Nov 21, 2012

Good. They should've learned what worked and what didn't from the first one. It's entirely possible to fix its problems and make the second one awesome.

vazel · Nov 21, 2012

I just hope it's still the Mirror's Edge we all love.

Still not enough trials to justify 60 dollars.

Hopefully it doesn't involve shooting any guns this time.

Acquiescence · Nov 21, 2012

Mirror's Edge is one of the best games this gen, so I find this news rather pleasant.

Gunsmithx · Nov 21, 2012

This is fantastic news to start the day with. I'm guessing it'll be for next gen at this point?

I spent over 50 hours on it, was well worth my money.

RionaaM · Nov 21, 2012

So glad to hear this. Hope they don't turn it into a straight up shooter, as those were the worst moments of the original game. In fact, if they make it so that you can avoid firing a single shot that would be great ME1 had some sections were you were pretty much forced to, unless you wanted to play hide and seek with the guards and punch them to death).

Oh, and a sandbox mode would be the best thing ever.

How can you capitalize on something that won't came out till 2 years later?

Me too. Finished the game about 5 times.

squid · Nov 21, 2012

I wouldn't believe anything Ben Cousins says. He was probably high.

-BLITZ- · Nov 21, 2012

I can't feel a thing. Who ever expected to see this coming. I didn't.

The thread truly deserve to have the best .gifs

Seda · Nov 21, 2012

Hopefully EA doesn't screw this up

I can feel my heart sinking already.

"You can still play this exactly like the original. We've just made it more accessible, de-emphasized the physics, modified the parkour work with a single button, and added more cinematic, action-oriented scenarios. Be sure to preorder at GameStop to get the exclusive Skyline map pack DLC, which should please fans of the first game."
