New Time Trial maps for Mirror's Edge

NewsPosted 04/12/2008 - 3:34pm GMT

Coming to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in late January.

EA has today announced the late January 2009 release of the first Mirror's Edge downloadable content. Priced 800 MS Points/$10, the content pack will include seven all-new and totally redesigned Time Trial maps. The content will be available for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

PS3 owners can look forward to a bonus map at no additional cost.

"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 Owen O'Brien, senior producer, DICE. "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."

DICE also confirmed today that the PC version of the game will be released in North America on January 13 and worldwide on January 16, 2009.

I love the way those maps look! Art style > Realism, every single time. These are GAMES, we are meant to be able to abstract in them.

The look of these new maps is weird but I can see how they'd work. Nice that PS3 owners get a FREE map as well, that's got to be a plus!

Not as well publicised as the DLC exclusivity news, was a phone interview with a DICE high-ranker that was some days ago now, posted up on MTV's Multiplayer blog. In it, he confirmed that while there would be DLC for all versions, some would also be exclusive to PS3. He also suggested that what was coming probably wouldn't be what we were expecting, lol!
