EA walks Mirror's Edge November 11

Console versions of DICE-developed first-person action adventure game get retail roll-out date; PC edition to ship "later in the winter."

124 Comments

To date, EA subsidiary DICE has been synonymous with the Battlefield series of military first-person shooters. This holiday season, the studio is branching out with the release of Mirror's Edge, a first-person action-adventure game that casts players as an acrobatic courier leaping across rooftops in the employ of a contraband messenger service.

Today EA and DICE announced an exact release date for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of the game, saying they would ship out November 11. A PC version of the game is also in development, but it won't be released until "later this winter," according to the publisher.

Gamers interested in seeing how the Mirror's Edge first-person perspective works in practice will soon be able to check out a downloadable demo from the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Store. The demo will include a tutorial, a taste of the single-player story mode, and for those who obtain a code by preordering the game, a time trial mode.

For more on Mirror's Edge, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

Guys this game rocks. can someone name a game like mirror's edge ? no because it's unique. that is why i am getting it it's so special and cool, it's a new idea of games. Yup the demo will change a lot of thaughts about it, everyone who thaught this game is nothing after the demo he will see that it's everything he needs to have fun.

PC version delayed so EA can work out how they can add DRM without getting in trouble like they did with Spore.

LOL zeke2040.Looks like You are probably another console fan boy who doesn't really know anything about computers. "i think all games will look better on the ps3 system..." Are you trying to say that games will look better on PS3 than on high end PC like 4870X2 Radeon 2GB and new Intel Core i7 CPU?

PC version = December according to IGN. I'll be picking up the PC version if it's good (best version, of course) :). It looks incredible, i must say.

I'm sure as usual the PS3 version will look and play worse than the 360 version. No I'm not a 360 fanboy either. I had both systems and sold my PS3 after the only decent game that was out was Drakes Fortune. I literally only used my PS3 to play movies. I've also been through 4 360s due to the RROD but the bottom line is ... Microsoft just made a better gaming system. Sony made a great choice making their system play their invention (BluRay) but their lack of games and online accessabilty makes PS3 dead in the water....yeah I sold my PS3 and bought a stand alone bluray player and am totally happier.

Gen Warbuff Many people on this board are making statements as if the Demo is out already. That's what confused me. Although, it could just be 12 year olds and their lack of grammar skills that led me to misinterpret.

"A PC version of the game is also in development, but it won't be released until "later this winter," Takes time to come up with another brilliant DRM scheme. (sarcasm, just so people don't mistake my comment)

That's it! When they first reveal stuff, they usually mean it'll come sometime in 2-5 years. This is great!
