Electronic Arts announced that it will bring its free-running action title Mirror’s Edge to the iPhone in January 2010.
While the 2008 console version of Mirror’s Edge was distinctive for its first-person platforming, the iPhone edition adopts a side-scrolling viewpoint. The shift in perspective was previously demonstrated in Mirror’s Edge 2D, a free promotional Flash game that launched last year.
The iPhone version of Mirror’s Edge features much of the same gameplay that defined its console predecessor. Players will guide franchise protagonist Faith Connors through a series of rooftop environments while using a variety of acrobatic techniques to escape her enemies.
Mirror’s Edge will include 14 levels when it launches in the App Store next year.
A full list of features follows:
- EXPERIENCE THE WORLD OF MIRROR’S EDGE – A place where information is heavily monitored and law is brutally enforced in an effort to create the ‘perfect’ society.
- YOUR MISSION -Take control of Faith Connors, a member of an underground messenger group known as Runners, as she races to stop a deadly threat that has grown from within their own ranks.
- SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST… AND FASTEST – Use Faith’s incredible acrobatic moves to outmaneuver the enemy –run on walls, slide down precarious ramps, ride ziplines, and leap between rooftops. Leave the enemy in your dust.
- EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT EXCITEMENT – Burn through 14 levels of the fastest, most fluid action imaginable. Dynamic camera angles capture the intense action of this unique game.
- HEIGHTEN YOUR SENSES- Immerse yourself in a stylish, graphically rich 3D environment flooded with realistic sound effects and phenomenal music.
