EA: Mirror's Edge 2 In Development
by Nick Breckon, Jun 12, 2009 11:53am PDTFollowing word from EA CEO John Riccitiello that the Mirror's Edge franchise will continue, Electronic Arts has confirmed that a small team is now at work on the sequel.
"You will see another Mirror's Edge for sure," said EA Europe VP Patrick Soderlund to Videogamer. "It's just a matter of when that time is and what we do with it. We have a small team on it and I'm excited about what we do."
Originally planned as a trilogy of games, the franchise's sequel potential was called into question after the disappointing debut of Mirror's Edge last November.
DICE's parkour-inspired, first-person action title was released during the crowded holiday season to lukewarm reviews and slow sales. The title went on to eventually pass the 1 million mark, despite DICE's sales target of over 3 million units.
"The game wasn't perfect by any means," said Soderlund. "We would have liked the game to sell better even though the game has sold better than most people think."

On another note, I didn't think this game was at all about controls as much as it was about the route. You learn the controls in five minutes, and yet halfway through the game you still get surprised how you can apply them.
I still feel ashamed of getting stuck on that boat for almost half an hour, as I just couldn't figure out how to get ahead. The assassin fight was also (literally) a bitch. Took me five tries to beat the goddamned skank!
