It’s well known that Mirror’s Edge is but the first in a slated trilogy. The question is not will it be made, but when?
An interesting site has popped up recently in the ARG World (alternate reality game). Args can be used as viral marketing and are mostly effect. Whether this is one or not remains to be seen, but it is off to a good start.
The website, you see, is www.pirandellokruger.com. You’d recognize the name as the security firm in the world of Mirror’s Edge. For a while the site was under construction with the words “No Red Doors here yet”. However, that has changed as the site now features and open door and the words “Got Faith?”
Now here comes the fun part and requires the use of some skills most people playing ARGs have. Looking at the source code of the website shows a hidden meta tag of 88.7 (Which shows up frequently in Mirror’s Edge and was apparently the file size of the demo.) with the content “”They’ve found us, stay off the wires, Exif only.”
What is Exif you ask? Exif is a format for embedding information into photos such as dates, times, camera models. Looking into the photo of the open red door reveals this.
The Truth
They’ve won, it’s over, what now?
Nowhere to hide, no doors, no flow, no trust, nothing…
Only white, too much white.New November/

Now, breaking down the numbers into pairs and replacing them with the corresponding letter of the alphabet spells out “Mirrors Edge Two”
Still, this begs the question of “When?” It is possible that the game will be out in November as it evidently referenced. However, New November might just stand for another event within the game’s world as the original November was the riots that took place.
This is all that has been revealed at the moment and if you’d like to keep tabs on the site take a look at the Unfiction Forum, as this is where am keeping tabs as well.
