EA shows off next Mirror’s Edge, renews focus on elegance

Add as a preferred source on Google

The next Mirror’s Edge doesn’t have a release date, we did get to see a developer diary talking about the DICE-developed game during EA’s E3 press conference.

The video showed off some of Faith’s new moves, which now include the ability to round corners while wall-running by grabbing onto nearby pipes. In addition, DICE is designing the game to allow players to choose between taking faster, more dangerous routes or easy, longer ones.

With the new game, DICE wants to strive for seamlessness, as the conceptual prototype footage showed Faith can leap off walls, attack enemies, and continue without breaking her stride. DICE also wants to focus on why Faith does what she does and who Faith is while giving her a slight redesign.

As previously mentioned, EA did not reveal when Mirror’s Edge would be released, though more information on the game will surely be revealed as time passes.

If you've been curious about Xbox Cloud Gaming but didn't want another monthly subscription, Microsoft may have a new option for you. The company is testing a free, ad-supported version of Xbox Cloud Gaming for Xbox Insiders, allowing eligible players to stream select games they already own without a Game Pass membership.

However, you'll have to watch a short advertisement before your session begins. Microsoft says the ads will never interrupt gameplay, making this an early test of whether a simple tradeoff can bring cloud gaming to more players.

Lenovo has expanded its LOQ gaming laptop lineup with a new graphics option. The company has introduced a refreshed version of the LOQ 17IRX10, pairing Intel's Core i7-14700HX processor with Nvidia's newly announced GeForce RTX 5070 12GB laptop GPU. The update gives buyers another configuration to choose from without changing the overall design or feature set of the laptop.

The new variant joins Lenovo's existing LOQ 17IRX10 lineup, which was previously available with GeForce RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5070 8GB graphics options. While the chassis remains unchanged, the addition of a 12GB RTX 5070 brings more VRAM to the series, a specification that has become increasingly important as modern AAA games demand larger texture caches and higher memory capacity.

This tiny Legion handheld puts the cloud in your hands

Lenovo has revealed more details about an upcoming Legion gaming handheld that could be among the thinnest and lightest devices in its category. The Legion C700 will measure just 14.99mm at its thinnest point and weigh approximately 556 grams, or around 1.25 pounds. By comparison, Lenovo’s Legion Go S is 22.6mm thick and weighs about 730 grams, while the ASUS ROG Ally X measures 24.7mm and weighs 678 grams.

Trimming these figures down should make the C700 much easier to hold for long periods and carry in a bag. But all of this portability comes at a cost--and that's cloud gaming.
