Mirror's Edge 2 Might Be Canceled

In some bad news for gamers who loved the free-running of Mirror's Edge, Electronic Arts has apparently halted development of the sequel from Battlefield 3 developer DICE.

While Mirror's Edge 2 was never officially unveiled, EA CEO John Riccitiello has talked about the company's philosophy when it comes to the sequel. That talk may amount to nothing; according to a report press2play.tv (as translated by Eurogamer), "The project has been stopped - involved parties at DICE are working on something else now."

We know that the "something else" is Battlefield 3, but it's still sad that work on Mirror's Edge 2 isn't moving forward. That's not to say that we'll never see a sequel, but EA's lack of enthusiasm surely isn't a good sign.

I never finished Mirror's Edge, but that was only because I borrowed it from my little brother and he traded it in. Been meaning to pick it up, as I loved it.

Wow... as if I didn't hate Battlefield enough... I was really looking forward to this game.

Someone help me out. Was this one of those games that was way better than the demo let on? I'll download it again later and check it out once more.

Production of a unique series halted for the production of another military FPS series...... :/

Don't get me wrong, I loved BFBC2. And I'm looking forward to 3. I've played the CODs. But the popularity of FPSs is getting a little out of hand...

Nooo please don't! It was one of the best games that surprised me :P. It was something completely new, i loved it! I want a sequel!
by GoS/T Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 06:21 AM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Mirror's Edge was what sold the playstation 3 for me. That game really made me feel like we were in the "next gen", it was so different than any other first-person game out there. And the art design was beautiful. I'm going to play that again tonight...
by Kale Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 07:51 AM

It be nice to play the sequel! Don't do it E.A.!
by Game Over... continue? Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 08:00 AM

Bummer, I was really looking forward to that!
by yankeesniper57 Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 08:04 AM

Nooooooo. a free roaming Mirror's Edge would be awesome, and if it's cancelled, E.A. will be making the biggest mistake ever.
by TheClassyOne Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 08:16 AM

That was a really cool game, hope they can get a sequel out in the future.
by Jake Kemper Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 08:47 AM

That game came out at the wrong time, the marketing people should be the ones being canceled.
by eyros2k Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 10:18 AM

Didn't Mirror's Edge see decent sales? What gives?
by Bruiser9013 Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 11:46 AM

A good, fun game canceled for a cookie cutter FPS with multiplayer...
by Arthur Reynolds Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 11:54 AM

Bummer.
