Crushed that we never got a third Mirror\u2019s Edge game? Then Panline, a parkour game set for a 2026 Steam Early Access release, could fill that gap.<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s still a work-in-progress, it\u2019s looking pretty impressive so far, with developer Viridian Matters showing off footage of your runner ziplining through the gleaming city. Story details remain sparse, but it\u2019s nailing the vibe of the original Mirror\u2019s Edge.<\/p>\n
And, make no mistake, we do miss Mirror\u2019s Edge. The original 2008 game left the door open for Faith\u2019s story to continue but, instead, we got Mirror\u2019s Edge: Catalyst, a reboot in 2016. The latter was more open but, while it never quite scaled the lofty heights of the original, it\u2019s still fun in its own right.<\/p>\n
A third game never materialised and there\u2019s no indication that EA is working on one. So it seems like the perfect opportunity for Panline to step in and clean up. It looks stunning in action, as you can see from the below clip. Like Mirror\u2019s Edge, it casts you as a runner, making deliveries around a gleaming future city.<\/p>\n
However, there\u2019s a catch. Watching the game in action, impressed as we are, it strikes us that Panline looks a little too close<\/strong> to Mirror\u2019s Edge. EA can\u2019t exactly copyright parkour, otherwise we\u2019d never have got Dying Light. But we suspect Viridian Matters may have to tweak Panline\u2019s aesthetic a little.<\/p>\n Related: Why We Love: Mirror\u2019s Edge<\/strong><\/p>\n In the meantime, you can wishlist Panline on Steam and follow its developer on Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Crushed that we never got a third Mirror\u2019s Edge game?
