A few years back the original Mirror's Edge became a cult classic with it's first person parkour and chase mechanics and unique visual style that stood apart from the brown and grey grit of other first person games. Although it received a great deal of love from the audience and sold moderately well, it never reached the level of sales or popularity that a giant mega-publisher like EA would need in order to take up a sequel.
In recent weeks there's been rumors popping up in various places, and even some retail pre-order listings from foreign branches of Amazon.com, of Mirror's Edge 2. Today those rumors seem a great deal more solid as EA's own website briefly had a listing for Mirror's Edge 2 in their help enter before being removed from sight. With E3 beginning in just a few days it seems quite likely we now know one of the game reveals. Let's just hope the game hasn't been altered to appeal to the Call of Duty market and can retain the unique qualities that made the original a favorite amongst people looking for new and interesting approaches to first person games.
