Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst is a free-roaming adventure without levels

LOS ANGELES — We got our best look yet at Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst during Electronic Arts pre-E3 press briefing today.

Catalyst is the follow-up to 2008’s Mirror’s Edge, which was notable for its first-person parkour gameplay and stylized graphics that used a minimalist color palette. However, EA has said that Catalyst is not a sequel. Instead, it will focus on main character Faith’s origin story. It is built with EA’s Frostbite Engine. While the original was linear and had levels, Catalyst is free-roaming with no loading screens.

Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It comes out on Feb. 22, 2016.

EA showed off a new trailer for Catalyst, which you can watch below.
