This is clearly a cool title, but why isn't it a sequel like we expected? According to PC Gamer, the game's senior director, Sara Jansson confirmed and explained this news on the official Mirror's Edge website in a news update.

"The team has spent a lot of time re-evaluating every aspect of the game and making it a new experience," Jansson explained, according to IGN. "This is not a sequel, this is not Mirror's Edge 2. We have landed on a vision that honors the first game - pushing the boundaries of first person movement and diving deeper into the story behind our heroine Faith - but also brings a lot of great new, interesting gameplay and features to the experience for our players."

Jansson continued: "So on behalf on the entire team here at DICE, we can't wait to show you what we have been pouring our heart and soul into. We can't wait to introduce you to Mirror's Edge Catalyst."
