Rumour: Mirror's Edge 2 'stalls'
Posted: 14.02.2011 10:55 by Simon Priest Comments: 10
According to a report the DICE team working on Mirror's Edge 2 have been reassigned to another project, which has "stalled" the entire sequel game.

So far EA has said they won't "comment on speculation." The original released in 2008 to low sales but high critical praise. Has Battlefield vanquished it?

In case you forgot: In Mirror's Edge you play a bag messenger who ends up being framed for a murder. Communication is monitored in this big brother age so message carriers are booming. You end up traversing the city across rooftops and the like.

EA CEO John Riccitiello has said previously that Mirror's Edge does "deserve a sequel.” Sales for the first-person action game were low but it got some high reviews. It was declared a 'victim' of the holiday crush as too many big titles surrounded it.

Do you hope Mirror's Edge 2 hasn't pulled a hamstring, videogamer?

I hope they don't cancel it. Mirrors Edge was awesome and refreshing game. It would be better if they finished it first instead of Battlefield because we don't need another Battlefield just yet.

I agree with that dude, we've had way too many BF games lately.

It would indeed be a shame of it got cancelled, but I doubt that'll happen. They are probably just pooling their resources this year to focus on their biggest and most promising game (Battlefield 3), and then post-release will likely continue their work on the Mirrors Edge franchise.

Also, whilst there is the Bad Company games, most fans of Battlefield (on PC especially, since we missed out on 1943) have been waiting for a sequel to BF2 since 2005. So, 'we dont need another Battlefield just yet' doesn't really apply since they were spin-offs of the main (and most popular) series which hasn't seen a release in 5 years.

If it has 3D that would be awesome.

True, there haven't been any sequels for BF2 since 2005 but we've had many shooters with similar theme and other shooters and MP titles in general. I think gamers deserve a break and have Mirrors Edge 2 for some relaxation.

@djole I agree we need something different and Mirrors Edge 2 would be just that, I loved the breath of fresh air which was the first Mirrors Edge.

If any game deserves a sequel, Mirror's Edge is definitely one of them!
