Mirror's Edge Catalyst closed beta kicks off on April 22

The closed beta phase for Mirror's Edge Catalyst will start on April 22, running for five days, and ending on April 26.

The news comes directly from Electronic Arts and DICE, who both released a new developer diary for Mirror's Edge Catalyst, which focuses on the Social Play side of the game. In Mirror's Edge Catalyst, gamers will be capable of creating their own Time Trials, with the challenging Dashes designed by DICE.

You can place Beat Location Emitters around the city of Glass so that your friends can try out their free running skills and beat your times.

There's also 30 minutes of gameplay footage that has surfaced, thanks to YouTuber 'AFILLARI', which we've got embedded above.
