The article is actually dated from late last year, but the news is only breaking here now for some reason, probably mostly because it&rsquo;s all in Scanwegian and translation is such an effort.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;[Patrick S&ouml;derlund, EA senior vice president] acknowledges that Mirror&rsquo;s Edge didn&rsquo;t meet sales expectations, which has held back development of a sequel. EA was shown a prototype, but declined with misgivings. The project did not go ahead, and DICE&rsquo;s devs are working on something else instead.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Since the English-speaking press starting pushing the story around yesterday evening, EA has dropped an official statement over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joystiq.com\/2011\/02\/14\/mirrors-edge-2-rejected-by-ea\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joystiq<\/a>, saying that, &ldquo;Mirror&#8217;s Edge is an important franchise built by the DICE studio in Stockholm. DICE is currently producing Battlefield 3. Nothing further to announce.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>So yes, no, maybe.
