 On December 4, 2008, EA announced the creation of seven all-new time trial maps for "Mirror's Edge", slated for release in January 2009.According to Owen O'Brien, Senior Producer for DICE, “The freedom of movement and control in first person has been the most popular aspect of "Mirror's Edge" so we decided to distill these down to their purest form for this map pack... We deliberately chose a more abstract aesthetic that is still within our distinctive art style and then focused on flow and gameplay to create an experience and challenge very different from the main game.” In January 2009, the release date was specified as January 29.The release was delayed until February 19, 2009, when the ""Time Trial Map Pack"" was made available as downloadable content for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
