Hello everyone,

Two years ago we revealed that we were making a new Mirror’s Edge™. Last year, we gave you a behind the scenes look into some of the early progress we had made. And though we haven't said much else in all that time, we have been listening. Thank you for your incredible passion and your patience. I'm excited to tell you that it's paid off — by this time next week, you will have finally seen more of the game at E3.

Mirror’s Edge has always had a special place in the hearts of all of us at DICE. The first game had a lot of promise. It was unlike anything else in terms of the gameplay and style — it had a unique soul. But as much as we loved that game, we knew it could be more. So that’s what we have set out to do as we introduce Mirror’s Edge to a new generation.

The team has spent a lot of time re-evaluating every aspect of the game and making it a new experience. This is not a sequel, this is not Mirror's Edge 2. We have landed on a vision that honors the first game — pushing the boundaries of first person movement and diving deeper into the story behind our heroine Faith — but also brings a lot of great new, interesting gameplay and features to the experience for our players.

So on behalf on the entire team here at DICE, we can’t wait to show you what we have been pouring our heart and soul into. We can’t wait to introduce you to Mirror’s Edge™ Catalyst.

Sara Jansson
Senior Producer, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst

[Cameron122]

Ooo baby

 

[Forerunner]

Today just keeps getting better!

 

[HORRORSHØW]

can't wait to see more
--
so this is like a reimagining of the first game? a remaster, if you will.

 

[Toki767]

It's a prequel right?

 

[Waylon Drums]

I've never played the first one but holy shit this is good news for a lot of people. Nice!

 

[spats]

That's some cool art. I'm excited!

 

[Spine_Ripper]

So...it's a reboot?

 

[mp1990]

Can't have enough of Mirrors Edge, keep them coming EA

 

[CREMSteve]

E3 is apparently today.

 

[Lostconfused]

Unfortunate, character design. Stuff,game,hope,good.

 

[Skilletor]

Please don't suck. Please don't suck.

 

[Nibel]

So this is a reboot huh?

 

[gembel]

platforms?

 

[Elginer]

Today just keeps making me cry from joy.

 

[legacyzero]

Still bummed that it's a prequel, unless Ive been reading it wrong.

 

[Cerberus]

Can't wait. Faith lookin' good.

 

[MGHA]

Graphics are pixelated.

 

[schick85]

Holy shit. Hyped as hell.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

So...it's a reboot?

We've known that pretty much from the start.

What's going on with her face in that picture, though? She looks like she's trying to be tough yet struggling to stay awake.

 

[Quadraphonic]

Not a sequel...

But they coudn't have spent 2 years on an HD remake. Could they?

 

[GavinUK86]

This is not a sequel, this is not Mirror's Edge 2.

Still excited though. Mirror's Edge is one of my favourite game of all time. I loved everything about it. The city, the characters, the story, the gameplay. Hopefully they don't fuck this one up and we get more than one.

This image gets me excited. Maybe we'll finally have enemies that can keep up with Faith.

It seems like they're going for a way more sci-fi aesthetic this time around.

 

[kmax]

Nice. Can't wait for more.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

If I see the words "more combat focused" associated with this game I'm out.

 

[Nirolak]

Not a sequel...

But they coudn't have spent 2 years on an HD remake. Could they?

It's a reboot, not a remaster.

 

[trembli0s]

Pumped!

 

[bigkrev]

No platforms announced?

No hype until 100% confirmation this is not a mobile game. There is -nothing- in that release that proves it's a console/PC game.

 

[Metal-Geo]

Here we gooooooooo

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Reboot? I thought it was a prequel?

edit:ah well- Im down

 

[benicillin]

What is with these pre-E3 announcements? Either way I'm stoked, Mirrors Edge is an all-time favorite for me.

 

[giancarlo123x]

It's a prequel right?

Reboot or reimagining.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Great. The first one was decent, but needed a bit of work. I hope I have more fun with this one.

 

[Lakitu]

They need to bring back Solar Fields....

Come on DICE! If they don't, I'll be upset to be honest.

 

[SykoTech]

Awesome art. Hype.

Please don't be always online. Please don't be always online. Pleas don't be...

 

[NumberThree]

What is with these pre-E3 announcements? Either way I'm stoked, Mirrors Edge is an all-time favorite for me.

Gotta give people a reason to tune in to their press conference.

 

[jaypah]

E3 is apparently today.

Really tho! Ain't getting shit done at work.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I'm unsure of the redesign. At least she doesn't have absurdly large boobs.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

I can't wait to see more.

 

[Gintoki]

The only EA game I'm hyped for.. please don't mess it up

 

[SolidSnakex]

First thought upon seeing that render is that they actually listened to Japanese gamers.

 

[Dinda]

I liked Faiths old design better.

Whatever, hyped for next week!

 

[BronsonLee]

LET'S
FUCKING
GO

 

[benicillin]

I'm unsure of the redesign. At least she doesn't have absurdly large boobs.

Redesign looks fine, what are you unsure about?

 

[Afrikan]

Morpheus support pls...kthnx.

 

[Perun]

The team has spent a lot of time re-evaluating every aspect of the game and making it a new experience

This is not a sequel, this is not Mirror's Edge 2.

Should I prepare for a dumbed down prequel/reboot?

 

[FelipeMGM]

Is it a reboot? A remake?

Im dumb, explain me Shinobi

 

[Kyuur]

Don't screw this up, DICE.
