Electronic Arts and DICE have announced that Swedish composer Magnus Birgersson, also known as Solar Fields, is returning to compose the soundtrack for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst.
The original game was known for its haunting and electronic soundscapes, so the new reboot of sorts will go back to that sort of unique sound. Magnus talked up his approach to the new game’s soundtrack over on the game’s official website:
Today I’ve been experimenting with the Mirror’s Edge theme by dissolving that piece of music using what’s known as granular synthesis. I’m playing around with these particle clouds to see what sounds are recognizable and iconic even when the music is dissolved, and to see if there are any new aspects in there I can work with.

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is launching across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on February 24th, 2016.
