Gibeau added that the original Mirror’s Edge sold a couple million units, so it’s “not an art film.” Still, he said the franchise has the opportunity to grow with the upcoming sequel.
The Mirror’s Edge sequel was announced during EA’s E3 briefing earlier this month. Little is known about its gameplay outside of Gibeau describing the game as an “open-world action adventure game.”
