Mirror's Edge PC release date officially no longer with consoles

Earlier this week, we reported on how web retailers like Gamestop and Amazon.com had changed their release dates for the upcoming first person action game Mirror's Edge to Jan. 6, 2009, away from the fall release date of the console version. At the time a spokesperson for the game's publisher, Electronic Arts, would only confirm that the release date would be sometime in the "winter" time frame.

Now EA has issued an official press release that indeed confirms that the PC version of the Digital Illusions developed title won't be released alongside the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. Those ports are now due out on Nov. 11 which makes those versions fall squarely in the "fall" time frame. EA would not admit to a specific release date for the PC version, saying only it is coming sometime this winter. We are betting this indeed means we won't be seeing Mirror's Edge in our hard drives until after 2008 is over.

Bah', kinda' lame but not much of a surprise. Personally, I don't mind holding out a little for what is usually the best version. I don't plan on having much free time until 09 anyways with the tsunami of big releases we're in the middle of right now anyway.

Disappointing for sure, but agreed - so many big games coming out right now that this one would have a hard time getting any quality time with me in.Posted at 1:01PM on Sep 18th 2008 by Mike

That's cool. I agree, tons of great games in September alone that I will be busy with my PC until the new year. And delaying the PC version usually means extra content will be available to make up for it, plus the port won't be sloppy. I say thank you :)Posted at 6:42PM on Sep 18th 2008 by Sokkratez

Consoles lowers the game experiance with their sticks and 8 button controls, the only reason for keeping the priority on consoles is probably because the big companies pay the developers so that they can benefit from ppl who just dont want to wait and buys a console for that reason only. Not even the graphics experiance can compete with computers...Posted at 8:02PM on Nov 23rd 2008 by Daniel
