THIS HOLIDAY’S HOTTEST VIDEO
GAME, MIRROR’S EDGE SHIPS TO RETAILERS WORLDWIDE
DICE Redefines the Action
Adventure Genre with a New First-Person Perspective, New Freedom of Movement and
a New Heroine
There’s no looking back! DICE, an
Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced that the highly
acclaimed first-person action adventure title, Mirror’s Edge™ has shipped to
retailers worldwide for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the
Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system. The PC version of Mirror’s Edge
will ship in North America in January 2009. To keep the action coming after
launch, DICE is currently developing downloadable content that will be available
at the beginning of the year. More details to be announced shortly.
Mirror’s Edge is a unique
first-person action adventure where players are introduced to Faith, a ‘runner’
in a world where communication channels are highly monitored and the movement of
information is closely watched. In the game, players step straight into the
shoes of this modern day heroine who traverses vertigo-inducing cityscape,
engaging in intense combat, fast-paced chases and challenging puzzles. When
Faith’s sister gets framed for murder, Faith finds herself on the edge of the
city, on the wrong side of the law.
“We set out to create a game unlike
any other; from the core gameplay controls to the main character and the look of
the world, we wanted to give gamers a new experience,” said Owen O’Brien, Senior
Producer, DICE. “We’re eager for players to experience what true first-person
movement feels like in a game. Faith is a very human heroine with no super
powers or even a weapon that has been put in an extraordinary situation where
she must rely on her agility, intelligence and strength to stay alive.”
Featured on the cover of an
incredible 39 magazines worldwide, Mirror’s Edge has won numerous critic awards
including “Best Xbox 360 Game” at the GC Developers Conference in Leipzig,
Germany and the Game Critics Award for “Best Original Game” at E3 in July.
Mirror’s Edge was developed at EA Digital Illusions CE AB (DICE) in Stockholm,
Sweden. The game is rated “T” by the ESRB and “16+” by PEGI.
