Lace up your hi-tops and follow the red racing line: Mirror's Edge Catalyst has been confirmed for the PlayStation 4. The game – which is due out between 1st January and 31st March next year – is being pitched as an all-new experience. Fans of the original PlayStation 3 run-a-thon need not fear, though, as DICE promises a release that will "honour" protagonist Faith's inaugural outing.
"We have landed on a vision that honours the first game – pushing the boundaries of first-person movement and diving deeper into the story behind our heroine Faith – but also brings a lot of great new, interesting gameplay and features to the experience for our players," senior producer Sara Jansson explained.
The game, unsurprisingly, will get its first airing at E3 2015 next week, but just in case you can't wait that long, there's some nifty looking artwork embedded above. Will you be sprinting to the front of the queue to pick up your copy of this overdue sequel? Leg it into the comments section below.

My hype levels are high!
@get2sammyb The first one was good, but I left a gap between starting and finishing it. The buttons were mental. All the shoulders and face buttons doing odd things.
@themcnoisy Haha, yeah, I liked the controls - but I can imagine it being tough to get back into. I wonder what this one will be like? Can't wait to see more... Hopefully no gunfights.
I'm kinda skeptical about her face on this artwork, i hope it's just me, but she is looking more like Stefanie Joosten (Quiet from MGSV) than what i remember Faith looking like, hope they didn't change her nationality/face.
@Rudakova I was thinking the same thing. Almost looks like a completely different woman.
I'm really glad EA gave away the first game for free on PSN awhile back.
Very excited for this game on PS4. With exception of Zelda for Wii U, this is probably my most anticipated game for 2016.
I really want to play the original. I remember when it first came out and people were talking about it, so it's honestly a surprise to me that the sequel has taken so long to get around.
@Rudakova @audiobrainiac I agree that she looks pretty different at first glance. Though considering the first game came out years ago, it's probably art evolution at work.
Been in love with Mirrors Edge since the demo came out. I really hope this lives up to expectations. Considering just how good the first one is yet there's plenty of room for improvement I can only imagine. Please please please! Be amazing!
Likedit but would work much better as a third person game.
@get2sammyb yeah it'll be nice if they give you the option to do a pacifist run like in the original (although better balancing of that would be welcome, as the last few areas were horrible)! My biggest fear is that it ends up a shootery cinematic QTE-fest with some free running elements on the side. Hopefully that won't be the case...
