Mirror's Edge is the latest in a long line of video game series to receive a television adaptation.

As reported by Deadline, Endemol Shine Studios has acquired the rights to adapt EA DICE's first-person series onto the small screen. This news comes shortly prior to the release of Mirror's Edge Catalyst, which releases June 7 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

“We clearly see Mirror’s Edge as a franchise for the global TV audience,” said Sharon Hall, President of Endemol Shine Studios. “It has a strong female protagonist, a wildly rabid fan base and a worldwide brand that Electronic Arts and EA DICE have done an amazing job establishing.”

2016 has already seen big screen adaptations of Ratchet & Clank, Angry Birds, and the soon-to-be Warcraft film. Later this year, we'll be seeing the Assassin's Creed movie. 

Late last year, Activision Blizzard announced that its working on a Call of Duty "cinematic universe," as well as a Skylanders animated television series.
