Electronic Arts (EA) has announced a new first person action adventure game. Called as Mirror’s Edge, the game will be released for next generation consoles as well as the PC.
Patrick Soderlund, GM, EA DICE, says, “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 fundamental with the traditional established mechanics of first person movement.”
Owen O’Brien, Senior producer said, “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 facilitate 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.”
Mirror’s Edge is being developed at EA DICE in Stockholm, Sweden and will be released in 2008 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and the PC. EA has not released any more details about the first person action adventure game.
