Patrick Söderlund fra Electronic Arts siger, at EA længe har villet lave en efterfølger til kultspillet Mirror's Edge fra 2008. Udgiveren har gennem længere tid lavet prototyper og forsøg med en mulig toer, men til sidst fik de en vision, der var umulig at gøre til virkelighed på de nuværende konsoller.
I et interview med CVG siger han:
"I'll be honest with you: we've been looking at Mirror's Edge for many years and had small prototype teams and incubations around what it could be. But it wasn't until Sara Jansson, who is now the producer on it, came to me and called Karl-Magnus Troedsson and said, ‘listen, I have an idea for what this could be'. She presented a vision so inspiring that we were like, ‘we have to build this now'."
"The interesting part is that it was a game that could only be built in gen 4 and that was cool. I liked that because what they're doing, it's not possible on the current generation."
Söderlund fortæller også, at det første Mirror's Edge solgte 2,5 millioner eksemplarer, og at EA siden da har taget for givet, at der skulle laves en efterfølger på et tidspunkt.
"We sold about 2.5 million units with Mirror's Edge and people haven't even blinked at it - like, 'of course we're going to make a new Mirror's Edge'. The whole company has been behind it," siger han.
Det nye Mirror's Edge er under udvikling til PC, PlayStation 4 og Xbox One.
