Mirror’s Edge DLC Dated
DICE has announced that the first piece of downloadable content for Mirror’s Edge will be a time trial map pack. The pack will contain seven maps that will be made available to PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 gamers for 800 Microsoft points ($10). Interestingly, PS3 users will also get an exclusive additional map for free.
“The freedom of movement and control in first person has been the most popular aspect of Mirror’s Edge so we decided to distil these down to their purest form for this map pack,” said DICE senior producer Owen O’Brien. “We deliberately chose a more abstract aesthetic that is still within our distinctive art style and then focused on flow and gameplay to create an experience and challenge very different from the main game.”
The content is scheduled for release in January 2009. It can be pointed out that the PC version of the game ships on January 13, so the DLC should be available sometime after that.
