Despite it being much more futuristic in its presentation, it turns out that the Mirror's Edge and Battlefield: Bad Company series take place around the same time, and share a much deeper connection than first thought.

Aside from the fact that both games were developed by DICE, there are a couple of small indicators that can be found throughout the events of the first Mirror's Edge game that tie their two narratives together.

Most prominently are the radio broadcasts that can be heard during a brief respite in an elevator. One details how the ongoing conflict against the country of Serdaristan is getting worse and the military will be looking into a resolution as soon as possible.

Those that have played Battlefield: Bad Company will know that Serdaristan is the antagonistic force that you must go up against, and the military intervention spoken of in the news broadcast pertains to the events of that game.

Aside from that, it's also possible to find a bag belonging to one of the runners in Mirror's Edge during the campaign of Bad Company, which only serves to strengthen this connection and poses some questions in regards to the runners presence in Serdaristan.
