Patrick Söderlund från Electronic Arts har avslöjat att en uppföljare till 2008 års kultspel Mirror's Edge (tills vidare kallat Mirror's Edge 2) har varit på gång länge och att de haft flera olika prototyper för spelet men att de till slut fick en vision som var omöjlig att göra till verklighet på dagens konsoler.
I ett samtal med CVG berättar han: "I'll be honest with you: we've been looking at Mirror's Edge for many years and had small prototype teams and incubations around what it could be. But it wasn't until Sara Jansson, who is now the producer on it, came to me and called Karl-Magnus Troedsson and said, ‘listen, I have an idea for what this could be'. She presented a vision so inspiring that we were like, ‘we have to build this now'."
"The interesting part is that it was a game that could only be built in gen 4 and that was cool. I liked that because what they're doing, it's not possible on the current generation."
Söderlund berättade också att originalet sålde i 2,5 miljoner exemplar och att företaget helt stöttade serien och var sugna på att göra en uppföljare.
"We sold about 2.5 million units with Mirror's Edge and people haven't even blinked at it - like, ‘of course we're going to make a new Mirror's Edge'. The whole company has been behind it," sade han.
Spelet är under utveckling till PC, Playstation 4 och Xbox One.
