Mirror’s Edge Catalyst will be launched on the 7th of June and it is essentially the second title in the Mirror’s Edge franchise, although some do consider the game to be a bit of a reboot. Regardless of what it is, from the trailers and gameplay videos, the game does look pretty good, but is it good enough to warrant a sequel?We suppose it remains to be seen and we’ll have to wait for its release to be able to better determine that, but according to EA Studios Executive Vice President Patrick Söderlund, he told Polygon that a sequel to the game will be entirely up to the fans to decide. Basically this means if there is a demand for it, they will make it, but if there isn’t, we guess that could spell the end of the franchise, at least for the foreseeable future.
According to Söderlund, “Whether or not there’s another Mirror’s Edge is going to be up to the people out there. If we can convince them that there’s a market for this, that people want to buy it, and if they tell us they want another one, then we’ll make another one. If the answer is that there wasn’t a big enough audience, it’s too difficult and too much work goes into making a game to build a game that we know people probably don’t want.”
However in the meantime it has been revealed that there will be a TV series adaptation of the game. No word on when it will be released or the casting, but given that the game revolves around freerunning, we reckon it would make for a pretty interesting TV show.
