With rumours mounting EA and developer DICE have confirmed that the title of the new Mirror's Edge title will indeed be called Mirror's Edge Catalyst.
In a blog post on the official website senior producer Sara Jansson explained the significance of Mirror's Edge:
"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."
Rather than going the obvious route of a sequel DICE are re-inventing the concept and rebooting the franchise.
"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."
We expect Mirror's Edge Catalyst to feature heavily at EA's press briefing ahead of E3 on Monday June 15 at 9:00pm.
