Mirror's Edge has now been released for the Xbox 360 and PS3 but as it turns out, PC owners aren't totally in the dark after all. While the full Digital Illusions-Electronic Arts action game still won't be out until January 2009 for PC owners, we can now play a free 2D browser based Flash game version of the title.

This isn't some fan-created dealie, either. This title from Borne Games was made with the approval of EA to promote the console launch of Mirror's Edge. At the moment it's just a one level beta version but a more complete (and still free) version will be released in a few weeks.

Electronic Arts is shipping the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of their first person action game Mirror's Edge to stores today but the publisher has also finally admitted what Big Download first reported back in September; the PC version won't be out until January 2009.

Up until now EA has only said that the PC game would come out this "winter" but online retailers have had a January 2009 release date for the Digital Illusions developed title for some time. Today's shipment announcement of the console versions also mentioned plans for downloadable content for Mirror's Edge that will be made available in early 2009. There's no other details on this bit of news nor if the PC port will get its share of downloadable content.

This trailer gives a good long look at the high altitude, freerunning action Mirror's Edge will offer. The game releases on November 11 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, and later in the winter for the PC. Console owners can also download the Mirror's Edge demo to help take the edge (no pun intended) off the wait.

Digital Illusions' upcoming near-future action game Mirror's Edge may be delayed for the PC but it looks like the EA published game won't be just a one-off title. In a video interview for the Australian based web site AusGames, producer Owen O'Brien stated at the Tokyo Game Show that they are thinking of Mirror's Edge as the first of a trilogy of titles.

According to O'Brien, "For these first couple games, it's all about (lead character) Faith. It's all about her experience in the world." Of course, in order to become a trilogy, the first game must be successful in terms of sales, something that even with high review scores is not a guarantee. While the console versions of Mirror's Edge are due next month the PC version won't be out until sometime later this winter (most likely in early 2009).

These new Mirror's Edge gameplay trailers show off a couple different intense scenario, where Faith will be expected to run, jump, dodge, kung fu and occasionally shoot her way through. The streaming trailer above is for Flight Level. Mirror's Edge is scheduled to release this fall on consoles and later in the winter for PC.

PC gamers may have to wait until sometime this winter to get Mirror's Edge but this November anyone will be able to download a digital remix album of songs from the Digital Illusions-Electronic Arts action game. The album features the game's theme song "Still Alive" (no not the Portal tune) from Swedish rock/pop star Lisa Miskovsky.

The album will also have five remixes of the theme song from Benny Benassi, Paul van Dyk, Junkie XL, Teddybears, and Armand Van Helden. The song itself was written and produced by Rami Yacoub and Arnthor Birgisson who have worked in the past for Pink and Britney Spears. There's no word on the pricing for the Mirror's Edge digital album.

The newest animated video provides more background on the story of Mirror's Edge. This one talks about the history of the city and how it eventually fell into totalitarian control.

It's definitely generated a lot of pre-release buzz but can the upcoming near-future action game Mirror's Edge be a sales success. According to Digital Illusions' marketing director Martin Frain, the answer is not only "Yes" but he is making a bold prediction for the game's final sales number.

In an article for Edge Online, Frain is quoted as saying, "I would look for world-wide sales of over 3 million, on three platforms as a conservative number. I think it has the potential to do a lot more than that." Mirror's Edge's big claim to fame is using the familiar first person viewpoint in a new way as the game's protagonist does "free running" trick and stunts to get around rather than just shooting. The game will be released for consoles in mid-November but a PC release date has yet to be officially announced by publisher Electronic Arts (although online retailers have it listed for early January 2009).

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.
