Adopts new mechanics for handheld limitations
EA is preparing an iPhone version of Mirror's Edge, the publisher has announced. Developed by DICE, the game was originally released for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in November of last year, with a Windows version following in January. The title centers around Faith Connors, an illegal courier who becomes embroiled in Orwellian city politics. Faith travels by rooftop, using parkour and martial arts to navigate obstacles.
The iPhone version should ship in January 2010, and include 14 levels. Gamers will be able to slide, wallrun and zipline, as well as fight with police; because of the limitations of Apple handhelds, the game will shift from first- to third-person perspective. It should however retain 3D graphics, and use a dynamic camera to show upcoming obstacles. No prices have been mentioned.
