]]> PayDay 2 director is calling it quits and is deciding to leave the big studios and AAA video game releases. Instead, David Goldfarb, is looking to settle into a small studio where the video games he creates are somewhere between indie and AAA.

David Goldfarb spoke with Polygon where he stated that he is leaving Overkill Software in good terms. PayDay 2 sold wonderfully and David admits that the game wasn’t a AAA title but it sold as well as any AAA video game.

I’m abandoning AAA. Payday 2 wasn’t triple AAA but it had AAA sales. But I just want to find genres that I can subvert

David Goldfarb isn’t a stranger to big successful video game hits. Through the years, David has worked on video games that includes Mirror’s Edge, Battlefield 3 and Killzone 2. Now it’s time to take a step back and work with a little more freedom.

Currently, David is looking to open up his own studio where he can have creative control. Only about four developers will be present within the studio and it’s unknown what the first IP will be.

I never wanna really do that again, big teams. And there are a lot of reasons for that. Even when I was doing it it felt f***ing fraudulent,” he said. “And there are people who are totally valid in that context but if you’re a journalist or a game designer who thinks the thing that matters the most to you is you need freedom, and I think I’m one of those people, then eventually the world will decide or you will decide, there is no other thing. It will happen one way or another.

]]> A teaser trailer was recently released at E3, the title has not been known yet but one thing we know for sure is that the game is “Coming… when it’s ready”. EA Labels president Frank Gibeau says the new Mirror’s Edge is going to be an “open-world adventure game” and “this is what you asked for”.

“There are probably about five or six new IPs that are fully owned and we haven’t announced yet,” he said. “Mirror’s Edge, a cult, classic great fan reaction at the show. We’re bringing Faith back in this open-world action adventure game.”

Mirror’s Edge is a popular game and fans all over have been wondering when there will be a Mirror’s Edge 2, and the trailer shown at E3 describes the upcoming game as, “the return of the critically acclaimed first-person action adventure game from DICE – experience the origin story of Faith and delve deeper into the inner workings of the city and the world around it.”

DICE’s all-new generation next generation game has been rumored to be an improved version of the first Mirror’s Edge, an extended spruced up version, or maybe even a Mirror’s Edge 2.

The new Mirror’s Edge is currently being developed and will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

What do you think EA’s plans for Mirror’s Edge is?
