• Illustration — The player, controlling Faith Connors, jumps over an obstacle. Mirror's Edge is a side-scrolling platform game where the player must control the protagonist, Faith Connors, as she navigates a city. The game acts as a prequel to the original Mirror's Edge, setting the scene about Runners and the city's shady corporations. To progress through the game, the player must complete 14 levels as fast as possible while getting past opponents controlled by the game's artificial intelligence. The player has the ability to dash, jump, wall-run, slide, and use zip lines. Although Faith cannot use weapons, the player can perform melee attacks and disarm opponents. Records can be uploaded to online leaderboards. Other player's records can be downloaded as Ghosts, which serve as recordings that show the player the path other players took. The game includes a split-screen multiplayer mode, where two players may race each other across any of the game's unlocked levels. Another multiplayer mode, Rivals, involves players collecting bags under a time limit.

Mirror's Edge was developed by IronMonkey Studios, a video game studio based in Melbourne, Australia. The game was originally announced on December 2, 2009, for iPhone and intended to be released in January 2010, but it was delayed so that the developers could add more content and make additional tweaks. It was later decided that the game would first be released on April 1, 2010, for the iPad's launch. An iPhone version was ultimately released on September 2, 2010. Although both versions are essentially the same game, the iPhone version does not include a multiplayer mode. Another version was released for Nokia Lumia Windows Phones on July 13, 2012. In 2015, the game was removed from the App Store because it does not support iOS versions newer than 7.1.2.
