What started out as a trademark in Europe, roared into full-speed pre-E3 reveals for Mirror's Edge Catalyst. During EA's press conference at E3 2015, it was announced that Mirror's Edge Catalyst will release on February 23, 2016.
Do not be confused, Mirror's Edge Catalyst is not Mirror's Edge 2 — it is a prequel of sorts. The first-person action platformer will actually tell the origin story of Faith, and her rise from a careless young woman to a heroine who opens the eyes of an entire city.
"Featuring fluid movement and combat in a massive city where you can run free and explore, Mirror's Edge Catalyst adds a new level of immersion to action adventure games by putting you in the first person perspective. You are not just watching Faith's fight for freedom, you will experience it through her eyes," the description reads.
"When we set out to bring Mirror's Edge to a new generation of gamers, we knew we wanted to deliver on the potential of the first game – building an iconic heroine in Faith, bringing a beautiful, stylized world to life, and delivering fluid first person action," said Sara Jansson, Senior Producer at DICE. "In Mirror's Edge Catalyst, you will get to feel what it's like to glide across the skyline of the city. You will get to know what it feels like to be a projectile who plows through your opponents. And you will get to experience Faith's story."
