Mirror’s Edge Catalyst ~ MAG Rope device detailed

The Mag Rope: Traversing the world of Mirror’s Edge Catalyst

Faith needs little less than her running skills, martial arts knowledge, and determination to fight the oppression smothering the citizens of Glass. Guns are not her way - but she does use a few pieces of hi-tech hardware to traverse the city.

The most essential one of these is Faith’s glove and its Manifold Attachment Gear Rope – or MAG Rope for short.

Few people are more attached to this crucial piece of equipment than Producer Jeremy Miller, who’s now standing by to answer some questions about the MAG Rope’s role in Mirror’s Edge Catalyst.

What is the MAG Rope?

The MAG Rope is a device worn on Faith’s forearm that can latch on to specific points in the world, allowing for unique traversal and interaction opportunities. When Faith first gets hold off the MAG Rope early in Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, she uses it to swing over gaps that are too long to jump across.

Upon activation, the MAG Rope shoots out a carbon fiber line, attaching to certain surveillance cameras. The swing is an extension of Faith’s move set and carries her momentum from running into the swing. In the swing, you have control over the speed and direction – and when and how you want to let go.

Initially, the swing function is the only feature of the MAG Rope. There are however upgrades for the MAG Rope that Faith will acquire through the people she meets as her story progresses.

How can the MAG Rope be upgraded?

The first upgrade Faith will get for her MAG Rope is the VD Torsional Motor. With the significantly more powerful motor, Faith can pull herself up to the attachment point, scaling vertical walls to reach new areas.

Later on, you’ll get hold of a Grappling Tip. This replaces the tip of the MAG Rope with hook extensions, which can be used to pierce and grab certain objects in the city. For instance, Faith may grab and pull out a panel, then quickly jump off it, before the panel retracts again.

Why did you decide to equip Faith with the MAG Rope in Mirror’s Edge Catalyst?

One reason is the more open city this time around. Crossing a highway - or even a two-lane road – is a surprisingly far distance that just isn’t jumpable. The MAG Rope allows us to maintain a more believable and varied city without being limited by the distance she can jump.

Initially, Faith is a carefree Runner, using her tools to interact with the city purely as a Runner, taking shortcuts and getting to restricted areas in order to complete her runs. As her story progresses, she’ll find more important ways to use the tech.

It was very important to not to make Faith feel like a superhero though - the tool is an extension of her movement, and is not what make her a heroine.

How can speedrunners take advantage of the MAG Rope?

I think the swing aspect will be particularly interesting for speedrunners. Runner’s Vision will show you clean, safe swing points but there are always more advanced and faster ways to get around. For example, early playtesters discovered a way to wall run, do a quick turn, leap out across a massive urban chasm, and just catch the edge of the activation area to swing across and cut huge distances off of a route. That adds a unique depth and a wider variety of traversal possibilities. It’s pretty risky though!

What do you want players to experience and feel when trying out the MAG Rope?

I hope players will see the MAG Rope as a natural extension of Faith’s toolset. It’s not just a gadget you activate, it’s part of Faith herself and true to the traversal rules of Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. There will many riveting moments for players using the MAG Rope. Leaping off a building during a run, hoping you haven’t jumped too early, only to have it catch just after a moment after you think it won’t – those vertigo moments are amazing.

Sign up for the Mirrorr's Edge Catalyst closed Beta for a chance to try out the gameplay before game launch.

Mirror's Edge: Catalyst ~ Story Details

THE STORY OF FAITH

A pristine city, ruled by a ruthless Conglomerate. Faith, a skilled Runner reluctantly drawn into an anti-Conglomerate struggle. (Watch Trailer)

DISTRICTS

According to the FY47 census, Glass boasts close to five million citizens, making it the third largest city in Cascadia. Prospective visitors should read up on what the central districts have to offer in terms of sights and entertainment.

Anchor

The Anchor district is one of the most affluent areas in Glass, its many tall buildings standing as proud heralds of the powerful corporations based here. Full of the city’s most popular nightclubs, young citizens make frequent visits to “The Anchor” for nightlife and shopping.

One spectacular construction project within Anchor is the gigantic Bauble Mall. When finished, the Bauble will be the most opulent shopping center in Cascadia - a true monument to the success of the Conglomerate way of life.

Downtown

Located in the very center of Glass, Downtown stands as the proud modernized center of the city. Among the busy and dense streets you’ll find a slew of fashionable boutiques and notable sights like the Elysium Corporation building - home to the world’s leading medical research professionals.

There have been reports of illegal activities in this area; with so called “Runners” roaming the rooftops. Citizens should not be alarmed however; the nuisance is being effectively dealt with by KrugerSec personnel.

The View

A prosperous residential area dedicated to "upwardly mobile" citizens, Ocean Glass View, or “The View”, is by many considered to be the final step before getting invited to Sky City. If you’re looking to get away from the intensity of Downtown or The Anchor, The View is well worth a visit. Here you can walk along the seaside promenade, picnic, and perhaps visit The Marina. On free days it’s not uncommon to see families enjoying the beach while their children play in the surf.

Faction

The city of Glass is ruled by the Conglomerate, which in turn is comprised of several powerful corporations, but it’s not the only faction in town. Other groups exist - those working against the oppression, those supporting it, and those in between.

The Runners

The Runners are a special group of voluntary offGrids who’ve decided not to be part of the Conglomerate machine. Living on the rooftops and grouping together in tight-knit Cabals they race across the urban landscapes, performing burglaries and courier jobs for those willing to pay. The Corporate Houses secretly depend on the Runners for their constant scheming and though KrugerSec has a standing order to neutralize any Runner on sight, some claim that they are not clamping down as hard on them as they could.

The Conglomerate

The Conglomerate consists of 13 corporations, each run by a powerful family or Corporate House, who together rule the nation of Cascadia. Locked in a constant power struggle, the Houses are prepared to go to extreme lengths to advance their positions within the Conglomerate hierarchy. Among the corporations can be found the security forces of KrugerSec, the tech specialists at Silvine Systems, and Elysium Corp., who specializes in medical research and healthcare.

Black November

Black November is a resistance movement led by Rebecca Thane, once a prominent protest leader, who turned to violent methods following the November riots almost two decades ago. Constantly hunted by KrugerSec, Black November do what they can to terrorize the authorities and incite a general revolution among the employs.

They strive to avoid civilian casualties, but lately Rebecca has been hinting that all regular employs are silent supporters of the Conglomerate and the tyranny. Therefore they too should be made targets so that they are forced to understand what their silent consent is causing.

If you have been selected for the Closed Beta and you are a Frontrunner, you will receive an email with your code on April 22nd. Others who made it into the Closed Beta will receive their code on April 23rd.

Closed Beta participants will be able to try out several of the main missions in Faith’s story, Side Missions, other optional content, and the Social Play features Mirror’s Edge Catalyst has to offer.

We know that as community members, you will have invaluable feedback on the game and we look forward to your comments and reaction when the Closed Beta starts.

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is not only about the story of Faith and her fight against oppression.

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst delayed to early June
《靚影特務：關鍵催化》再度延期将于6月初发售

　　尽管此前《靚影特務：關鍵催化》曾经历过延期，不过日前EA和DICE再次推迟了本作的发售日。近日官方确认，原定于2016年5月24日发售的本作将延期至6月推出，其中美版新发售日为2016年6月7日，而欧版新发售日则为6月9日。

　　在官方博客的一篇文章中，本作的设计总监Erik Odeldahl解释了延期原因。他表示他们这么做是为了有更多的时间从内测(4月22日开始)中获得并解决玩家反馈的问题意见，让游戏变得更加完美。

　　“如你所知，我们即将为《靚影特務：關鍵催化》内测参加者打开大门。本作Beta版和完整游戏的一个关键功能是社交游戏(Social Play)，这一点在我们之前的开发者日志中已经详细提到过。”

　　“体验DICE设计的跑酷，创造你自己的计时赛，攀上排行榜，并且和你的好友们连线，这些都是令我们感到兴奋的社交游戏，而且这也是我们希望完美发挥出来的东西。”

　　“为了支持这些社交游戏功能，我们使用了全新的在线技术。我们也希望确保有更多的机会和时间来解决内测玩家反馈的问题。这就是为什么我们希望我们自己有更多一点的时间来完善游戏，所以《靚影特務：關鍵催化》的新发售日变为6月7日(北美)和6月9日(欧洲)。我们相信，这额外的两周时间能够让我们确保游戏变得更加惊人。”

　　《靚影特務：關鍵催化》是《靚影特務》系列最新作，本作将登陆PS4、XBOX One和PC平台。

Update on the Mirror’s Edge Catalyst Launch

Hello everyone,

As you know, we’re about to open the gates to the city of Glass for participants of the Closed Beta. One of the key features of the Beta and the full game is Social Play, detailed in our latest developer diary.

Taking on Dashes designed by DICE, creating your own Time Trials, climbing the Leaderboards, and connecting with your Runner friends are some of the Social Play features we’re really excited about – and something we want to play flawlessly.

To support the Social Play features, we are using a brand new online technology. We also want to make sure we have the opportunity and time to address player feedback from the Closed Beta. That is why we will give ourselves a bit more time to perfect the game, with a new release date for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst of June 7th (NA) and June 9th (EU). We’re confident that these extra two weeks will make sure the game is as amazing as possible for you the players.

Thank you all for your continued support and excitement for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. The return of Faith is imminent.

Erik Odeldahl, Design Director
