Sometimes a game being good just isn’t enough to make it sell (and sometimes it being bad isn’t enough to stop it from selling). This was the case with DICE’s Mirror’s Edge, a free-running FPS that was very well received critically, but unfortunately not commercially.<\/p>\n
Despite the flop, DICE thinks that the world is ready for a sequel. Producer Patrick Liu, talking to Sprong<\/a> said “I think it’s something that people are ready to get into again.”<\/p>\n “We see that there’s a huge fan following, it’s almost like a cult! And we know what strengths we had, and what weaknesses we had in that game. If we were to release a new game, we’d know what to improve and how to reach a broader audience. So I definitely think there’s a market there.”<\/p>\n Earlier this year, EA exec Frank Gibeu stated that they’re “actively” looking at how to bring it back in the right way.<\/p>\n “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.”<\/p>\n While there certainly seems to be a lot of enthusiasm for the IP, DICE aren’t giving any real information as to when we might be seeing a sequel, or even an announcement that it’s being worked on.<\/p>\n
