Mirror’s Edge Catalyst has been delayed into May 2016

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst has been delayed by a few months, according to an announcement on the official website.

Here's the official statement:

"Years ago, we set out an ambitious vision for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst," said Senior producer Sara Jansson. "Achieving that vision and delivering the best possible experience is equally inspiring and challenging. And it takes time.

"We set out to create a vast city to explore, full of stunning vistas, majestic skyscrapers, and mysterious tunnels. We’re building the most immersive action-adventure game with fluid movement and combat in first person. Mirror’s Edge Catalyst will be an all-new playground with a deeper and more engaging story - and we want to accomplish all these goals to the highest quality possible.

"So we’ve made the decision to bring Mirror’s Edge to the world starting May 24, 2016. We will use these few extra months to make sure that when you step into the massive City of Glass and experience the rise of Faith, it’s as entertaining, impressive, and memorable as it can be."

EA didn't mention the delay in its Q2 FY16 financial report today, but a call to investors will be conducted this evening, so we expect it to be highlighted during the meeting.

The game was originally slated for release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on February 23, 2016. As mentioned above, it will now release on May 24.

It tells the origin story of protagonist Faith.
