Viridian Matters is currently working on a new game that is heavily inspired by the beloved Mirror’s Edge games. So, if you’ve been waiting for a new Mirror’s Edge game, this is something you should keep your eye on.
In PANLINE, you will run with the Charter crew. This is a network of couriers, fixers, and data brokers driving the new attention economy, built on identity and exclusivity. Between jobs, your base is where favors get traded, introductions happen, and trust is built and broken.
Players will be able to get contracts from anonymous forums and message boards. Some runs will be simple handoffs, while others will chain into multi-stop jobs where routes and delivery conditions matter as much as time or distance.
The equipment you bring will also define the tier of contract you can take. Storage upgrades expand how much you can carry. Specialized kits will also protect high-value payloads and make riskier jobs viable.
In PANLINE, what you carry is what you risk, and progress only counts once you make it back to base. The items you will find in The City will enable repairs, upgrades, and the ability to take riskier contracts.
Moreover, new techniques will come from senior runners. You can find these senior runners on the rooftops. New areas will also open when your movement, PANLET capability, and social reach are advanced enough to operate there.
The game will not have a map, but you will have a compass. Furthermore, you will be able to bring up your PANLET and manipulate the city’s infrastructure to suit your needs. You will be able to run during the day and return to base at night to consolidate until you get your Night Running Pass.
The good news is that PANLINE absolutely nails its art style and movement system. It looks and feels like Mirror’s Edge. And since we’re unlikely to ever get another Mirror’s Edge game, this might be the next best thing.
There is currently no ETA for when the game will come out. Naturally, though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
