Mirror's Edge Catalyst has been delayed, with developer DICE needing more time to deliver on the promising open-world structure of the game. The parkour-themed title will now ship on May 24 (instead of February 23), and senior producer Sara Jansson has explained the delay via a blog post on the game's official website:
"Years ago, we set out an ambitious vision for Mirror's Edge Catalyst. Achieving that vision and delivering the best possible experience is equally inspiring and challenging. And it takes time.
"We set out to create a vast city to explore, full of stunning vistas, majestic skyscrapers, and mysterious tunnels. We're building the most immersive action-adventure game with fluid movement and combat in first person. Mirror's Edge Catalyst will be an all-new playground with a deeper and more engaging story - and we want to accomplish all these goals to the highest quality possible.
"So we've made the decision to bring Mirror's Edge to the world starting May 24, 2016. We will use these few extra months to make sure that when you step into the massive City of Glass and experience the rise of Faith, it's as entertaining, impressive, and memorable as it can be."
When it does eventually launch, Mirror's Edge Catalyst will run on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. You can find out more about the game from our recent interview with DICE, which is available for your viewing pleasure here.
