Those players that have finished Mirror’s Edge will be happy to know that the game is getting downloadable content sometime in January. The new content will be in the form of Time Trials, so this may leave players aching for more story disappointed.

There will be seven maps in total, with nine races, with the Playstation 3 getting a free map as part of an exclusive content deal. The map pack will also cost players 800 MS Points (for the Xbox 360), or about £7. Apparently the PC version may be out around the same time, but don’t quote me on that one.

Players will leave the city behind and instead be confronted with totally abstract crazy designs (see the video above);

“We deliberately chose a more abstract aesthetic that is still within our distinct art style,” said DICE senior producer Owen O’Brien, “and then focused on flow and gameplay to create an experience and challenge very different from the main game.” -1up.com

Seems like a good deal for those wanting to get more out of the game, although I would have preferred to get more story.
