E3 2011: Mirror's Edge 2 + Frostbite 2?

EA's Frank Gibeau strongly hints that Mirror's Edge sequel will use Frostbite 2 engine.

Mirror's Edge 2 is still in the works, and will more than likely use the Frosbite 2 engine, according to EA Games President Frank Gibeau.

Back in March, IGN interviewed EA Games President Frank Gibeau, who confirmed that there was still life in the Mirror's Edge franchise. When asked about a sequel, he said "We're looking at ideas for it, absolutely."

Well, it seems the Frostbite 2 engine -- used by Battlefield 3 to deliver some of the most realistic visuals yet seen in games -- is a part of those ideas.

Gibeau told Gametrailers Geoff Keighley, "We love that franchise. The DICE guys really created something special the first time around. You've got to have a big idea to be able to do the next one, and that's what we're working on."

When Keighley suggested that it might use Frosbite 2, Gibeau replied, "You'll see that combination, I'm sure."

Sprinting across an urban landscape, rendered using Frosbite 2, could be a visually stunning combination.
