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.

Ben Cousins ‏@BenjaminCousins It is general knowledge in the Stockholm dev scene that Mirror's Edge 2 is in production at DICE http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...efield-factory

Some things are still right in the world!

[derFeef]

Beat me to it, just wanted to post it :)

EA not completely blind, hell yeah!

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

[Dragonzord]

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

[eXistor]

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]

Great news.

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

[luffeN]

With Frostbite 2?

[BadWolf]

Yay!

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

[Nemesis_]

I am glad some of us are still awake.

[BobTheFork]

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]

[Orayn]

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]

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

[Rygar 8 Bit]

EA doing something right

[Dictator93]

I am far from being homosxual... but that is one handsome man

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]

Get ready for multiplayer!

please be good

[so1337]

EA redeemed my body is ready etc. etc.

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

[Kintaro]

What are the odds it will become a shooter?

Co-op and multiplayer shooter, here we come!

[Ushojax]

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

[confuziz]

[tci]

YES!

[Massa]

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

Mirror's Edge is a time trial game.

To capitalize on next gen launch?

[Koshiro]

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

[legacyzero]

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]

TOO MUCH JOY

I wouldn't be surprised if it's 720/PS4/PC (and then proceeds to bomb like Mirror's Edge).

[Lost Fragment]

[Dachande]

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]

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

[Dragonzord]

Mirror's Edge is a time trial game.

Still not enough trials to justify 60 dollars.

[kadotsu]

Wishlist:
Runners Log
More time trials
User generated content
No guns
No dubstep
No darkness and grit

[LiK]

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

[Acquiescence]

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

[Gunsmithx]

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

[Oersted]

What are the odds it will become a shooter? Co-op and multiplayer shooter, here we come!

Exclusive Linkin Park soundtrack incoming.

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

[RionaaM]

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?

[confuziz]

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

Me too. Finished the game about 5 times.

[squid]

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

[-BLITZ-]

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]

Hopefully EA doesn't screw this up
