So, while the players can't actually cross over and play alongside each other, they can see traces of each other's presence and contributions within Catalyst. One player's hacked billboards can then appear within the game worlds of that player's friends. Speaking to IGN, DICE's Patrick Bach revealed that, while Mirror's Edge Catalyst will not incorporate standard competetive or cooperative multiplayer modes, it will include "an asynchronous connection where your actions will affect my world." What does that mean, exactly? IGN cites the example of Faith being able to hack billboards throughout the city. The answer, as it turns out, is yes.and no. Already the new installment is making the right moves - adios to the shoehorned, ineffective gun combat - many fans wondered whether the new Mirror's Edge would incorporate multiplayer, something that is more and more retrofitted onto traditionally singleplayer titles. Rather than a sequel, however, the game will actually be a prequel, exploring the earlier years of the rebellious, free-running Faith in the stunning but stifling city of Glass. While there had been rumors of a sequel for years, Mirror's Edge Catalyst was finally confirmed and given a February 2016 release date. With Mirror's Edge Catalyst, developer DICE has the chance many original IPs never get: to evolve and improve.
The good elements turned Mirror's Edge into a cult classic, but the broken parts unquestionably drove many away. Unfortunately, it also set players up for controller-throwing rage spirals spent trying and failing to make the same jump over and over and over again. Sprinting across stark white rooftops, chasing splashes of crimson, all with the propulsive score by Solar Fields feeding the adrenaline - when it worked, Mirror's Edge made for a gaming experience unlike anything else.
Mirror's Edge was equal parts fascinating and frustrating.
