Amazon's German site has recently posted a listing for Mirror's Edge 2, a game that carries on from the first back in 2008, and hasn't yet been confirmed or announced by EA.
The page didn't show any information on the game and lacked a release date, as well as using placeholder box art for the product image. Back in November 2012, EA Easy general manager Ben Cousins did confirm the Mirrors Edge 2 was under development, stating on Twitter that "It is general knowledge in the Stockholm dev scene that Mirror's Edge 2 is in production at DICE."
However, there hasn't been any information on the title since.
Seeing as E3 is now just around the corner, it'd make sense that the 3D action FPS platformer may make its announcement at E3 and will be revealed for PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360.
More information on what the new game will include is currently unknown, and seeing as the last game was released in 2008, and in 2009 for a PC port of the game, I have a feeling DICE

A lot of PC MMO developers have considered moving their titles to next gen consoles. We already know the popular free FPS Blacklight: Retribution will make it to PS4, and rumors have been going around about Planetside 2 hitting console as well.
This early on in the next generation of console it's hard to tell what will actually hit the console and what won't so it's refreshing to see that War Thunder, a free arcade World War 2 flight MMO by Gaijin Entertainment, will make its debut to PlayStation 4 sometime in Holiday 2013.
The game will offer a free experience similar to the PC version, although the game will have 'more intuitive controls' thanks to Sony's Dual Shock 4 controller.
"We're convinced that our cooperation with Sony will not only make the War Thunder franchise better, but it will give our fans a new level of gaming experience that will figuratively blown their mind," Said Kirill Yudintse,

Take Two has become the publisher to be this year, with titles like Borderlands 2, XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Bioshock Infinite on their roster, and the much awaited Grand Theft Auto V later this year, there’s no questioning Take Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick when he stated that "Fiscal 2014 promises to be one of our best years ever."
The publisher/developer isn't going to stop here though, and Zelnick has said that a lot of great games are in the pipeline for next generation consoles, including brand new IP.
"We also have an extraordinary pipeline of titles in development for next-generation platforms, including groundbreaking new intellectual property and releases from our proven franchises," Zelnick stated.

Naughty Dog like to leave little hints around in their world for gamers to speculate about, and the last time this happened, a date left in a bar in Uncharted 3 turned out to be the release date for the Last of Us.
Gamers have now found a calendar in the Last of Us with the date October 2013 written on it. Whilst this could have just been a randomly chosen date for art and immersion purposes, it could be possible that the date on the calendar is hinting towards an October 2013 release for Naughty Dog's next game, Uncharted 4.
Uncharted 4 would sit nicely on the PlayStation 4 right ahead of the release date of the console, and if the game is released in October, perhaps this could mean the PS4 could be released before or around the October 2013 date as well.
There is no way of really knowing what the meaning is behind the Calendar, but a lot of gamers are convinced that the October 2013 date in the Last of Us is more than just artwork. What are your opinions?

Despite the action FPS Walking Dead Survival Instinct being a terrible game thanks to its unpolished and lore breaking gameplay, the other Walking Dead by TellTale games has seen a lot of success, and it's now reaching out to the rest of the world.
The Walking Dead video game by Telltale games has received a lot of praise and many awards for its story-driven video game, and until now, was only available to those in the UK via a digital download.
However TellTale games have announced this week that the Walking Dead video game is now available for physical purchase from UK retailers for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and the PC.

If you've watched the trailer already, you'll know that the next Call of Duty game, set for release this year, will be Call of Duty: Ghosts, which has been rumored to launch on November 5th this year.
A few details have been given by Activision on the single player and multiplayer aspects that will be found within COD: Ghosts.
First of all, Ghosts will take place in the future, but soldiers will still make use of current technology, and this is because of a "major plot event" unveiled in the game.
Single player will also include more destructible scenery, although the dynamics on this hasn't been released. Multiplayer will apparently involve maps that allow players to make use of things found within the game such as traps, making the maps a lot more interactive than previous COD games.
The game is also being developed on a new "next-gen" engine according to Activision, and will be playable on Xbox 360, PS3, PC, and next gen Microsoft and PlayStation

An innocent looking photo of Borderlands 2 and Gearbox's PR man Steve Gibson taking a nap on a couch has revealed something that may get Borderlands 2 fans excited. Ironically, behind the peaceful looking image of the PR worker is a Borderlands 2 cardboard cutout with the words "Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep" on it.
This is the biggest leak you could get, as it comes right from the man whose job it is to make sure that content is shown to the public at the best time at the best time possible. Was this clever marketing ploy, or a silly mistake?
It's more than likely that the latter is the truth of the story, as after the picture was uploaded to twitter, it was taken back down again. Luckily, other sources managed to get it out to the rest of the internet before it disappeared.
Gearbox has since decided to reveal the details on the new DLC because of the leak, and has let everyone know that the game is set for release on June 25th and will cost $10 for
