DICE saysMirror’s Edge Catalystwill feature a rich story centering around the origin of main protagonist Faith and her journey"from carefree thrill-seeker to true heroine":
Faith Connors is a self-assured thrill-seeker and one of the best Runners in the city of Glass. But Faith’s carefree days are numbered. As she crosses paths with the evil Gabriel Kruger and the city’s oppressive Conglomerate, Faith finds herself running for something far more important.
The game was originally scheduled to launch later this month beforeit was delayedto May, but today DICE also announced thatMirror’s Edge Catalystwill be getting a closed beta on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Origin on PC. There aren’t any details on what exactly the beta will include, but there will be a non-traditional multiplayer component in the game.
DICE has called themultiplayer ofMirror’s Edge Catalyst“an asynchronous connection where your actions will affect my world.” One example of this is players being able to see traces of fellow gamers while traversing the landscapes of the game. Another mode that has been mentioned is Dash Races, where players would compete against their friends' best leaderboard times on a set race course.
It’s important to note, though, that this will be a closed beta with limited access, so not everyone who signs up will get in. Moreover, any progression or achievements earned during the beta will not carry over to the main game.
