Xbox Gaming in South Africa

According to Electronic Arts' Frank Gibeau, those recent internet rumours - which actually stemmed from an interview with EA - about Mirror's Edge 2's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Talking to CVG about claims that the sequel had been cancelled, Gibeau says that, "Not at all. We're just trying to figure out how to bring Mirror's Edge back and in what way. That's part of the creative development process. I know there are some stories about how EA killed Mirror's Edge. Well, I'm the guy; I greenlight the games. I did not kill it - as God is my witness."

He also explains that, "What we said internally is: 'What do we need to do to make [a sequel] a hit?' We need to go from version one to version two so that it sells two to three times as many, it finds a much bigger audience. The first game from a quality standpoint was good, but now it needs to be great," adding that the company is "actively working on ideas" for the franchise's future.

Let's hope those ideas eventually materialize into a new Mirror's Edge game.
