LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
DICE, an award-winning studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and
developer of the blockbuster Battlefield™ franchise, today
announced that fan-favorite Mirror's Edge™ is in early
stages of development. Mirror's Edge was first introduced in 2008
and fans quickly elevated the game's heroine "Faith" into a videogame
icon. Gamers and critics worldwide praised its unique characters, highly
stylized world and fresh take on first person action adventure. The new Mirror's
Edge reboots the franchise for the next generation with advanced
visuals and an all-new origin story for Faith. Powered by DICE's
proprietary Frostbite™ technology, the game will be heading to
Xbox One®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft,
the PlayStation®4, and PC.
"We introduced Mirror's Edge and Faith to gamers five years ago,
and we've waited for the right moment to reunite them," said Sara
Jansson, Senior Producer, DICE. "Thanks to the Frostbite engine and a
new generation of platforms, we are now able to deliver a richer world
that players will be able to explore with a new level of freedom in both
