Den svenske udvikler DICE har netop opdateret deres officielle hjemmeside for det kommende Mirror's Edge Catalyst, med en masse information om de forskellige mekanikker i spillet. En af de nye features hedder Shift, som bliver beskrevet således af Lead Gameplay-designer Rickard Antroia:
"The origin of Shift is that we wanted to find something that lets you gain speed faster. Shift lets you move sideways in any direction, and also backwards. Say you get too close to a threat or just want to back up and get a clearer view of your surroundings, Shift will take care of that."
Shift kan altså bruges som en form for drifting, som vi kender det fra racing-titler, der lader dig skifte retning i høj fart. DICE har sikret sig, at du ikke dør af dette, og Antroia siger:
"One extra perk of using Shift like this is that you can't fall off of ledges while doing it. This means you can use this technique on dodgy terrain and on small catwalks without railings."
Mirror's Edge Catalyst udkommer på PC, PlayStation 4 og Xbox One d. 25 februar.
