Mirror’s Edge Catalyst Delayed By Two Weeks, Now Releasing in June

Written by Brandon Hofer on April 21, 2016

News: EA has delayed Mirror’s Edge Catalyst by two weeks to try and incorporate feedback from the upcoming closed beta.

The closed beta for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is set to begin tomorrow. Earlier today EA sent out a press release stating that they want to take an extra couple weeks with Mirror’s Edge to give themselves enough time to listen to and address feedback that will be pouring in from the beta. So with that said Mirror’s Edge Catalyst has been delayed by two weeks and will now be released on June 7 in North America and on June 9 for Europe. A message from the design director is below:

”Hello everyone,

As you know, we’re about to open the gates to the city of Glass for participants of the Closed Beta. One of the key features of the Beta and the full game is Social Play, detailed in our latest developer diary.

Taking on Dashes designed by DICE, creating your own Time Trials, climbing the Leaderboards, and connecting with your Runner friends are some of the Social Play features we’re really excited about – and something we want to play flawlessly.

To support the Social Play features, we are using a brand new online technology. We also want to make sure we have the opportunity and time to address player feedback from the Closed Beta. That is why we will give ourselves a bit more time to perfect the game, with a new release date for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst of June 7th (NA) and June 9th (EU). We’re confident that these extra two weeks will make sure the game is as amazing as possible for you the players.

Thank you all for your continued support and excitement for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. The return of Faith is imminent.

Erik Odeldahl, Design Director”
