About Mirror's Edge
In a tightly monitored city, runners called Runners ferry sensitive data away from prying eyes. Faith, a skilled Runner, is framed for a crime and hunted, thrusting the player into a high‑stakes chase through a sleek urban landscape.
Mirror’s Edge delivers first‑person, acrobatic movement, intense combat and a unique “Runner Vision” that highlights pathways. The game emphasizes speed, agility and the visceral feeling of height, offering a singular action‑adventure experience from the creators of Battlefield.
01 / THE GUIDE
Fluid Movement
The game lets you string together wall‑runs, leaps, vaults and other acrobatic actions, turning the city’s architecture into a dynamic playground. Each maneuver flows into the next, encouraging continuous motion rather than static combat.
Movement feels natural because it is tied to the first‑person perspective, letting you use rooftops, walls and gaps as routes to evade or pursue. The design rewards players who keep momentum and explore vertical space.
- Experiment with chaining wall‑runs and vaults to maintain speed.
- Observe level geometry for hidden shortcuts.

First‑Person Immersion
Every breath, collision and impact is presented from Faith’s viewpoint, creating a visceral sense of danger. Heights generate real vertigo, and the game’s sound and visual cues amplify the feeling of speed.
The immersion is heightened by the way bullet impacts and physical collisions are felt, making combat and chases feel immediate and intense.
- Pay attention to audio cues for incoming threats.
- Use the camera’s field of view to gauge distance when leaping.

Combat and Chase
Faith’s speed and agility let her both evade pursuers and disable unwary opponents. The game blends chase sequences, puzzles and strategic combat, encouraging players to choose between fighting or fleeing.
Combat encounters are fast‑paced, with the option to disarm enemies or use the environment to your advantage, reinforcing the theme of movement over brute force.
- Consider using the environment to create distance.
- Mix disarming moves with quick escapes for safer engagements.

Runner Vision
Runner Vision highlights rooftops, pathways and escape routes, showing the city as a network of flow. This visual overlay helps you identify the most efficient routes during high‑speed sections.
The vision system reinforces the core gameplay loop: seeing the flow keeps you running, and keeping momentum keeps you alive.
- Use Runner Vision when searching for the quickest path.
- Use it to spot hidden routes during chase moments.
