A small team is working on Mirrors Edge 2, EA has confirmed.
Speaking to VideoGamer.com at E3, the outspoken Patrick Soderlund, who as senior vice president at EA Games Europe oversees all European game development, said he was excited by what developer DICE, where he is based, will do with the game.
Mirrors Edge divided opinion on its release in November 2008. While fans applauded the innovative Parkour-inspired first-person action, critics slammed the game for its short length and poor storyline.
When asked for an update on the future of the IP, Soderlund told us: Mirrors Edge was a risky move. It was a bold move, a very innovative and inspiring move. The game wasnt perfect by any means. We would have liked the game to sell better even though the game has sold better than most people think.
He added: You will see another Mirrors Edge for sure. Its just a matter of when that time is and what we do with it. We have a small team on it and Im excited about what we do.
Soderlunds comments are the first confirmation that a sequel is in development. Up to this point the game had only been mentioned by EA as a title in consideration. During a December 2008 conference call EA CEO John Riccitiello assured fans that the company wasnt giving up on the IP, despite less than stellar sales.
As reported by Edge, Riccitiello said: "Mirror's Edge is one that was very strongly reviewed, that one's going to go forward. We're probably going to look into some issues around the design to make sure strong IP is married with strong business."
Unfortunately Soderlund couldn't offer any other details or a possible release date on the game.
