Mirror’s Edge Catalyst the sequel to the cult favorite Mirror’s Edge has been delayed to May 2016. DICE announced today that they have decided to push the release date for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst by a few months.
Mirror’s Edge Catalyst will now release on May 24, 2016.
Sara Sara Jansson, senior producer for Catalyst, noted on the game’s website :
Years ago, we set out an ambitious vision for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. Achieving that vision and delivering the best possible experience is equally inspiring and challenging. And it takes time. We set out to create a vast city to explore, full of stunning vistas, majestic skyscrapers, and mysterious tunnels. We’re building the most immersive action-adventure game with fluid movement and combat in first person. Mirror’s Edge Catalyst will be an all-new playground with a deeper and more engaging story – and we want to accomplish all these goals to the highest quality possible.
So we’ve made the decision to bring Mirror’s Edge to the world starting May 24, 2016. We will use these few extra months to make sure that when you step into the massive City of Glass and experience the rise of Faith, it’s as entertaining, impressive, and memorable as it can be.
Unlike the first Mirror’s Edge, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst doesn’t restrict players to linear levels. It’s an open-world game that players can freely explore without loading screens.
The original release date for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst was February 23rd. The delay sucks but three months is a drop in the bucket compared to how long we’ve been waiting for a new Mirror’s Edge. The original game came out way back in 2008, after all
