Abandon Hope for Mirror's Edge 3; DICE Has Time Only for BF
The new head of DICE gave her first interview since taking over at the end of last year. She promises continued for BF2042, but also makes it clear that we shouldn't expect Mirror's Edge 3 or Star Wars Battlefront 3.
- DICE head extinguishes hopes for a continuation of Mirror's Edge.
- The studio is focusing exclusively on the Battlefield series.
- Battlefield 2042 will not be abandoned, and work on improving the game is still ongoing.
In November last year there was a big reshuffle at DICE, the studio responsible for the Electronic Arts, and changes were announced in the process of creating the next installments of these popular shooters. A new team has even been formed in Seattle to improve the scripts for the installments of Battlefield. Will there be room in all this for, for example, the third part of Star Wars: Battlefront or Mirror's Edge?
There won't be a Mirror's Edge 3... or anything like it anytime soon
Since taking office at the end of last year until now, the new head of DICE did not give interviews. Journalists from Star Wars: Battlefront 3 and other projects of similar caliber. Unfortunately, we have bad news.
"Rebecka Coutaz (DICE CEO): Our focus is solely on Battlefield 2042. That's what we want to do right now and we don't have time for anything else. In the next three years we want to become a first-person shooter powerhouse [...]."
Such an answer to the question about the possibility of creating a new game from the Call of Duty series, DICE intends to make only the next Battlefield games.
Original Mirror's Edge: Catalyst did not conquer the world, but it was still quite enjoyable to play, and Electronic Arts was satisfied with the financial results. Fans were hoping that the third part of the series would fix what Catalyst fell short at but apparently we'll have to wait a bit longer for that. Maybe our kids will play it. Or their kids.
We also have good news. In the same interview the head of DICE revealed that a team of veteran employees is working hard to fix black sheep is taking.
