Mirror’s Edge 2 Not So Stalled (Maybe) February 18, 2011

Okay, I’m stumped right now.  A few days ago I posted up information from an article posted that a Mirror’s Edge 2’s demo was rejected by EA and the people who worked on it are working on other projects.  I also noticed quotes from the executives working on the project saying at this point that making a sequel to Mirror’s Edge would equal “charity”.  That to me (and a lot of other press members it seemed) means that your project is dead.

Now people from EA are saying that Mirror’s Edge is an “important” EA franchise and the media so far has been commenting on rumors and speculation about the game’s cancellation.  All I’ve seen up to this point is the media quoting on what the DICE and EA executives had to say about the franchise and EA will not comment further on what they mean by this new statement.

I guess this is what happens when all of the major sources for this event quote a news story that was originally written in a different language, but still when you’re saying things like “Our EA demo was rejected and the people who worked on it are now working on other projects” it doesn’t sound to me like Mirror’s Edge is an “important” franchise to EA.

So right now the project status has shifted back from stalled to unknown.  I’ll try to keep you guys updated on this if any more news takes off.
