Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is going into closed beta on April 22. Today, EA and DICE revealed what we can expect from it.
Beta codes will be going out on April 22 and 23. The test will conclude on April 26.
Those that are selected to participate will be able to test out story missions, side activities, and social features. The leaderboards will be supported by a website and mobile app that allow you to keep tabs on your friends.
Mirror’s Edge Catalyst will support “echoes” (otherwise known as “ghosts” in racing games) that let you see how your peers moved through a challenge. Narratively, these are tied into “The Beat,” a meta-system used by runners to communicate and navigate.
Players can also create their own challenges and share with friends. Mirror’s Edge Catalyst will be out on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, on May 24.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
