EA and DICE seems to have taken some of the criticism regarding the original Mirror's Edge on board. In a number of E3 interviews, the publisher and studio has said that the new game - largely thought to be a prequel - will be a radical departure, sporting open worlds and a heavier focus on adventure.
It was described first as an "open-world action adventure game" by EA Labels president Frank Gibeau, but then VP of EA Games Patrick Söderlund later elaborated just what that will entail.
"What I can say is we're taking more of an action adventure approach on it than maybe before," he revealed. "First-person, running predominantly – this will be more of an action adventure game, but true to what the first one was to a large extent.
"It is obviously something that we know a lot of people want and fans have asked us for many, many years. But more importantly, it's a game that DICE wanted to build. They think that the first one was a great first attempt but it didn't really deliver on the true vision that the guys had for that IP.
"I think we missed completely on the game being too difficult, people keep falling down and the notion of constantly running away wasn't maybe greatly perceived. On top of that there were a bunch of other problems with it, but again we look at what's great with it, we do more of that and we fix the things that were broken."
All sounds like steps in the right direction. We can't wait to see more. Catch the announcement and initial teaser trailer right here.
