Electronic Arts has confirmed that it has canned Mirror's Edge 2, stopping development of the project after early prototypes were deemed to be disappointing.

Speaking to Press 2 Play, EA's Patrick Soderlund said that the series was close to his heart, but that he had to acknowledge the poor sales of the original.

'EA was shown a prototype, but declined with askance,' says Press 2 Play's report (in Swedish). 'The project has been stopped - involved parties at DICE are working on something else now.'

Developer DICE had a small team working on a sequel to 2008's Mirror's Edge since at least November 2010, according to Eurogamer.

In 2008 EA confirmed that it was planning sequels for both Dead Space and Mirror's Edge, both of which had met with 'disappointing sales'. Dead Space 2 saw a release only a few weeks ago.

Despite poor sales, Mirror's Edge is still a firm fan favourite, having earned Sixth Place in our Top 10 Games of 2009 and 9/10 when we reviewed it on release.

that sucks, i like the game

too bad :-(((

canned? typo

Damnit! I wanted it so bad!:mad:

Dam it!! it's a shame cause they could have done so much improvements on Mirrors Edge 2

someone has to leak that ngu coders can bring it to a good end

Ah man, I was looking forward to it...

Never got the chance to play it. Annoying kids in my town always at the Gamestop counter deciding what they want while the other worker just stands behind the counter watching the game trailers.

wtf, this game was my favorite and I was waiting for the 2nd one to come out like everyone else was

sigh.....I knew they'll project this development based on their earnings from the first Mirror's Edge (which is what all business does if they wanted to continue that line of product) but hopefully this would not be shot down fully because I am still a fan of this game
