The Orginial Mirrors Edge writer, Rhianna Pratchet will not be working on the upcoming sequel at DICE.
The news was revealed over Twitter as she stated that she “wasn’t asked.”
It's really lovely that people care enough to ask whether I'm involved with Mirror's Edge 2, but I'm not & wasn't asked. (Cont'd)

Pratchett told of one reason that she may not have been asked to return to the series being that the original game’s story wasn’t well-received.
Let's face it ME1's story didn't review that great (for many reasons). So I consider myself a casualty of that development process. (cont'd)
