The next Mirror’s Edge is called Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, but it's not a sequel, EA says.

In a post on its official site, senior producer Sara Jansson said the game’s development team has spent a lot of time since its announcement re-evaluating every aspect of the game to make it a new experience.

“Mirror’s Edge has always had a special place in the hearts of all of us at DICE. The first game had a lot of promise,” she said.

“It was unlike anything else in terms of the gameplay and style — it had a unique soul. But as much as we loved that game, we knew it could be more. So that’s what we have set out to do as we introduce Mirror’s Edge to a new generation.

“This is not a sequel, this is not Mirror's Edge 2. We have landed on a vision that honors the first game — pushing the boundaries of first person movement and diving deeper into the story behind our heroine Faith — but also brings a lot of great new, interesting gameplay and features to the experience for our players.

“So on behalf on the entire team here at DICE, we can’t wait to show you what we have been pouring our heart and soul into. We can’t wait to introduce you to Mirror’s Edge Catalyst.”

We’ll see more of the not-sequel at E3 next week.
