Mirror's Edge, a new take on the First Person Action Adventure category.
EA told us the other day that they had some new IP planned and hoped to innovate within the gaming industry and today the first of their new franchises was revealed. EA's DICE studio in Stockholm are working on Mirror's Edge, a new take on the First Person Action Adventure category.
Patrick Soderlund, General Manager of EA DICE, commented: "We are a studio that believes in taking risks and taking games in new directions. We made the sandbox experience viable and enjoyable in Battlefield and now, we are looking to do something radical with the traditional established mechanics of first person movement."
Senior producer, Owen O'Brien, commented: "We want to change the way that players are able to move in first person. No more restrictions, no more being blocked by simple barriers such as walls and fences. We want to enable the player to move like a real person, with the ability to run, jump, vault and slide in a way that has never been seen before in a first person game."
How exactly the game will revolutionise the FPS genre we're not quite sure, but we'll just have to look forward to seeing it in action.
Mirror's Edge will ship in calendar year 2008 for the PS3, Xbox 360and for the PC.
