New Mirror's Edge and Star Wars Battlefront games could take on a different "format", DICE has suggested. Speaking before a BAFTA Showcase for Battlefield 4, executive producer Patrick Bach said the company was "absolutely" interested in new experiences. "We are now, as we announced at E3, also building a Star Wars Battlefront game, as well as going back to the Mirror's Edge franchise," he told Digital Spy. "To me, that's an opportunity for us to try new grounds." When asked whether the titles are arguably established, well known franchises, Bach responded: "Well, you could claim that people know what it is. "Just because the IP is known, doesn't mean that the format will be the same. So, you never know."

The delayed release of Watch Dogs is, we're told, bad news for both next generation consoles - Ubisoft's modern day open worlder is one of the most anticipated new IPs in a while, and according to one analyst, its absence from the line-up could eat into hardware sales. DICE's executive producer Patrick Bach isn't about to put the boot in, however. Creating a console launch game is no mean feat.
