This will no doubt come as sad news to some, but the planned release of a sequel the Mirror's Edge is no more. EA has scrapped the project and it looks like the series (or at least the potential for a series) is dead, for now anyway. http://www.bit-tech.net/news/gaming/2011/02/14/mirror-s-edge-2-cancelled/1 Edited by browland1, Feb 14 2011, 01:19 PM.

BTW @ the 2 million sales comment, you have to consider the fact that the number of sales is just a number. How well did the game sell at full price? It has been on the market for years now and it has sold for dirt cheap for years.

Come on EA, Mirrors Edge was a masterpiece and even thought it didn't sell millions of copies a lot of people still bought it and enjoyed the game! To this day I still love popping my copy in and playing around. Well hopefully it will resurface someday...

I love the concept behind the original Mirror's Edge and the game was a ton of fun at its best, but I ultimatly think it stumbled quite a bit in execution. So I really wanted to play a sequal, but unfortunatly the chances of that have obvioulsy been diminished.

It's 15 w/ free shipping (on 360) at Amazon right now, so I may pick it up. http://www.amazon.com/Mirrors-Edge-Xbox-360/dp/B00149PCAO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1297840217&sr=1-1 Edited by DizzyDial, Feb 16 2011, 02:10 AM.
