Electronic Arts has big plans for Mirror’s Edge. They’ve already announced it would be the first in a trilogy, like Mass Effect and Too Human, and are already talking about sequels beyond the initial three games.
EA DICE senior producer Owen O’Brien:
The story we’re telling at the moment is kind of a trilogy, a three-story arc. For these first couple games, it’s all about Faith. It’s all about her experience in the world… I think there’s a lot of scope to take the story in different directions, or maybe tell someone else’s story. I think the world we’ve created, the city and the culture and the environment, is almost as interesting, or more interesting than any one individual story.
Oh, boy. Can Electronic Arts please wait to see if Mirror’s Edge is a financial, let alone artistic, success before mapping out nine games like some video-George Lucas?
