Mirror's Edge Catalyst is set to release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, offering a next-generation gaming experience that takes full advantage of the latest hardware.
In Mirror's Edge Catalyst, players take on the role of Faith, navigating through a stunning, futuristic cityscape using parkour and free-running mechanics. The game promises to deliver a more fluid and responsive experience than its predecessors, with a greater emphasis on mobility and player freedom.
Unlike the linear corridors of the original game, Catalyst gives you the entire skyline to play with.

In Catalyst , you will often find yourself running across identical rooftops and climbing the same ventilation shafts repeatedly to get from mission to mission. The journey is fun, but the repetition of the "climb up, zip line down" loop becomes noticeable after a few hours.
