DICE today announced that writer and story designer Rhianna Pratchett is responsible for crafting the intricate script for Mirror's Edge. Pratchett introduces players to Faith, a 'runner' in a world where communication channels are highly monitored and the movement of human traffic is closely watched. When Faith's sister gets framed for a murder she did not commit, Faith finds herself on the edge of the city, on the wrong side of the law.
"It was a great experience working with the team at DICE to help breath life into Faith; her world, relationships and backstory," said Rhianna Pratchett. "My heroines and heroes have always been the ones who were ordinary, but through the events of a story, became extraordinary. Faith is skilled, but she's certainly not a superhero. She has her flaws, like all of us. In short: she's real. That's her appeal."
Pratchett has been recognized by the videogame entertainment industry for numerous achievements in her 10 year gaming career including being voted by Next-Gen.Biz as one of the 100 most influential women in the games industry. She's also worked on a number of high profiles games including Heavenly Sword and Overlord that have been nominated for a BAFTA and Develop Award for creation of story, character and new intellectual property.
Mirror's Edge is being developed at EA Digital Illusions CE AB (DICE) in Stockholm, Sweden for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
