Mirror's Edge & Dead Space Sequels

There is a strong possibility that we will be seeing sequels to both Mirror's Edge and Dead Space in the next coming years after EA spoke about them recently. Due to their rapid success in the charts EA are looking to push these IP's forward. The following was said by EA's John Riccitiello,

"We're very pleased with a lot of our new franchises this year. Spore... [looks like an] ongoing franchise, Dead Space looks like a long-term big winner for us... Warhammer will continue to perform very well."

"Mirror's Edge was very strongly reviewed - That one's going to go forward. We'll be looking at some issues around the design to make sure that strong IP is married with strong business."

So stay tuned for announcements by EA on these titles in the future.
