‘Mirror’s Edge Catalyst’ Has Been (Slightly) Delayed Again!

Briefly: Damn.

One of my most anticipated titles of 2016, EA’s Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, has just hit another delay.

The game was originally slated to launch on February 23rd, but was pushed back to May 24th back in October of last year. 

EA took to the official Mirror’s Edge website to announce the new release date, which will be June 7th in North America, and June 9th in Europe. Here’s the official statement:

Hello everyone,

 

As you know, we’re about to open the gates to the city of Glass for participants of the Closed Beta. One of the key features of the Beta and the full game is Social Play, detailed in our latest developer diary.

 

Taking on Dashes designed by DICE, creating your own Time Trials, climbing the Leaderboards, and connecting with your Runner friends are some of the Social Play features we’re really excited about – and something we want to play flawlessly.

 

To support the Social Play features, we are using a brand new online technology. We also want to make sure we have the opportunity and time to address player feedback from the Closed Beta. That is why we will give ourselves a bit more time to perfect the game, with a new release date for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst of June 7th (NA) and June 9th (EU). We’re confident that these extra two weeks will make sure the game is as amazing as possible for you the players.

 

Thank you all for your continued support and excitement for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. The return of Faith is imminent.

 

Erik Odeldahl, Design Director

A thankfully shorter delay than the last time around, and I think the important thing to remember here is that we’re getting a Mirror’s Edge sequel. Who ever thought we’d see a Mirror‘s Edge sequel!?
