Mirrors Edge 2 Cancelled

[Stephen!]

EA have seen a prototype of Mirror’s Edge 2 and decided to can the project, moving the small team of DICE developers who were working on the sequel to other projects.

The news comes via a Press 2 Play report, translated by Eurogamer, which says that “Patrick [Soderlund - EA driving and shooting game boss] acknowledges that Mirror’s Edge didn’t match up to their expectations regarding sales, and that has stopped the sequel that has been in development.”

“EA was shown a prototype, but declined with askance. The project has been stopped – involved parties at DICE are working on something else now. Patrick himself seems to have Mirror’s Edge near his heart, but they are not in the business of charity.”

God-damnit.

Kane and Lynch 2 sells a million copies.
Mirror's Edge 2 gets cancelled.

What an amazing industry we live in. When a game with one massive easy to solve problem (gunplay and parkour don't mix) just gets squashed.

Never played the first game but I heard it was quite good. Shame to see it's been canned.

I'm so annoyed. I loved the first Mirror's Edge, I've nearly platinumed it on ps3 + got the add on pack

[redtom]

Aww I was looking forward to a sequel

I hope they still use the concept of a first person free runner.

Personally i'd like to see that demonstration video that made the decision for its cancellation.
