News DICE Discusses Mirror's Edge... Again
We think it's pretty much set in stone how much fans want another Mirror's Edge game (we're right there with you

Mirror's Edge was a sequel away from perfection
EA and DICE's brilliant first-person parkour title was so unique that it didn't get everything right first time around.
