Mirror's Edge DLC dated

By Tom Bramwell Published 14 January, 2009

EA gives us the runaround. In two weeks.

Electronic Arts has announced that the Mirror's Edge premium downloadable content will be released on 29th January for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

The pack, announced before Christmas, consists of seven new Time Trial maps that offer nine new races.

As you know if you watched the trailer, these are stylised courses designed to make the most of the game's free-running Time Trial mode - one of its best features.

The pack will cost 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live Marketplace, and USD 10 for PlayStation 3 and PC owners. The latter can buy the game itself when it goes on sale this Friday, 16th January.

PlayStation 3 owners also get an extra map as part of an exclusivity arrangement with Sony. It's not clear whether you have to buy the whole pack to get this, so we're checking.

Meanwhile, why don't you check out our Mirror's Edge PS3/Xbox 360 review or yesterday's Mirror's Edge PC review to find out what we thought of the game itself?

Unless you have already, in which case you get a hug. C'mere. Aw. Awww.

    Loving the article with added hugs :)

    I hate exclusive DLC. I know Sony paid for it, but I prefer to play this with the 360 pad, so I'm torn between which version I'd rather have.

  • Carpathian #2 3 years ago

    So, we already have announcements of DLC (and paid at that) but still nothing on a PC demo.

    Good to see they have their priorities in order.

    {sigh}

  • Miths #3 3 years ago

    A single time trial map? Then how do you think we feel when MS make exclusive deals for Fallout 3 DLC?

    Anyway, assuming you're suggesting neither company should pull these stunts, I agree :).

  • Rash' #4 3 years ago

    DFawkes, buy neither. once the novelty of the aesthetics and perspective wear off the holes in the design seep through.

    Still need to finish the game, i'm on chapter 8, those fucking "blues" are just a pain in the arse so I took a break from the frustration. I will finish the game and buy the content though.

    Hopefully they will improve the game in the second game (its kinda confirmed, isn't it?)

  • GlassMoon #6 3 years ago

    Seems a bit expensive at a quid per map. Especially if you only run through going for single stars.

  • menage #7 3 years ago

    I enjoyed the timetrials in the game way more than the actual game (they should have made this a racing game on foot like wipeout with multiplayer online or something, ditching the whole neo-communism cop and robbers thing story altogether), so maybe.

  • dudefella #8 3 years ago

    800 points for 7 maps is a fair price, imo. ANd I love the time trials, so I'll get this for sure.

  • Methys #10 3 years ago

    I got bored with this game on chapter 5. No point finishing it

    The online runs are nice though

    360lol

  • Nithron #12 3 years ago

    I've never had a problem with exclusive DLC. Until Sony started getting some. Now i'm vehemently against it, and every moral implication thereof.

    Down with the treacherous sony monopoly-mongers!

    +1 to that.

    Having exclusive content either platform exclusive DLC or extra bonuses for buying or pre-ordering from a specific shop is a very shitty idea, IMHO, *cough*DOW II*cough*. Users from all the (supported) platforms should be able to get the same content.

    Kinda surprised to see paid-for-DLC on the PC version. I guess the free rides are coming to an end comrades. :)
