EA cagey on Mirror's Edge PC date

By Robert Purchese Published 10 November, 2008

Retailers point to January 2009.

There is still no public release date for the PC version of Mirror's Edge, Electronic Arts told Eurogamer this afternoon.

In other words, we can't say for definite whether the game will be out before Christmas, but online retailers GAME and Play reckon it won't be. Both carry listings for early January.

Mirror's Edge is an ambitious and vibrantly-coloured first-person free-running game from Battlefield developer DICE, and was recently voted as the top game of the Eurogamer Expo by flocks of attendees.

The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions arrive this Friday, and are backed by a hearty thumbs-up from Eurogamer, albeit with reservations. Christian Donlan, our reviewer, evoked Assassin's Creed as a critical reference point. Don't start all that again, Chris!

Head over to our freshly-minted Mirror's Edge review to find out what else he said.

    What the fuck? This is the kind of shit we have to put up with thanks to piracy. I'm not about to buy a first person game on a taffing console.

    I hate this hobby.

    ^ Exactly - if they release it too soon, the torrents may harm the 360 / PS3 sales.

    Lulz, this kind of brainwashing done by developers works even better than DRM.
