Small snippets aside, this pseudo Sam Fisher lookalike is probably the biggest tease of Edge's most recent gamescom demo. We're shown that they have a particular interest in the activities of Kruger's business, with their discovery displeasing the tyrannical tycoon a great deal. There's practically nothing that indicates this leather-cad infiltrator's role in the story, but one thing clear above all else is that they're not working against Faith. Personally? I smell a vendetta coming. The demo made it obvious that Kruger's been getting up to something none too ethical in the genetics department, so could this be one of his experiments gone awry? The most interesting thing about it is that this person is unknown to Faith's rag-tag band of resistance fighters, so they're clearly motivated by something much more personal than political in nature. Though there's still plenty of time to go from now until Catalyst's release, what's been shown so far all looks extremely promising. For a franchise many thought dead and buried, the second entry in the Mirror's Edge saga keeps on showing that no matter how hard you try, you simply can't keep a good game down. Are you excited for Catalyst? Or are you already lowering your expectations in advance? Be sure to let us know in the comments section below!
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
