Peter Moore: Mirror's Edge 2 will "keep you on the edge of your seat!"
Electronic Arts issued a press release today announcing a sequel to 2007's "cult classic" Mirror's Edge. a genre-breaking parcours-fps that has developed an unprecedented fan gathering after its initially modest shipping numbers.
"We strongly believe in the Mirror's Edge franchise and are excited to finally announce the next installment in the series." said EA executive Peter Moore this Thursday.
The sequel will offer "Immersion on a level never seen before" according to Moore.
Asked how DICE is going to achieve this goal, Moore became even more excited:
by further developing the gunplay in the game, action-thursting gamers will love this new entry. "Over 25 weapons, 7 different shotguns alone!" the executive answered when asked about the amounts of weapons.
Asked how this new action-oriented focus will change the gameplay, he said: "Parcours is 2007, Mirror's Edge 2 is the future. A future, in which main protagonist Faith is no longer a Freerunner, but has become part of a supersecret military squad called "Run for your life" tasked with operations no normal soldier could accomplish."
"Shit will explode left and right and we will have multiplayer. With the help of microtranasctions you'll be able to buy the coolest tattoos for Faith, even ones placed on her boobs!"
One journalist asked Moore how he feels old-school fans of the franchise will react to the changes made.
His answer: "Honestly, I don't give a shit!"
Mirror's Edge 2 will release on PS3, XBox360, XboxONE, PS4 and the 3DS this winter.
A Wii U version has, as of yet, been neither confirmed nor denied. Stay tuned!
