EA reveals Mirrors Edge 2 could potentially either use the same Frostbite 2 engine Battlefield 3 is currently using or at least a modified version by the time the game is actually ready for display.
Quote:
EA Games President Frank Gibeau has all but confirmed that we'll eventually see Mirror's Edge 2 running on Frostbite 2, telling Gametrailers that "you'll see that combination, I'm sure".
"We haven't killed Mirror's Edge," continued Gibeau. We're actively looking at how to bring it back in the right way. We love that franchise. The DICE guys really created something I think special the first time around. You've got to have a big idea to be able to do the next one and that's what we're working on."

Due to EA using Battlefield 3 as their main hype game this Fall and DICE currently busy just working on the game itself, it is very unlikely more info on a possible Mirror's Edge 2 would be released any time this year or before the next E3.
As of now, the game is in limbo status where it hasn't been confirmed to be in real development nor given a cancellation notice even though EA promised the series won't be done with just one game.
