JOE

Eight years after the original, free-runner Faith Connors is back in one of the most anticipated video games of the year, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst.

The game, which also features Scottish electronic group CHVRCHES on the soundtrack, allows players to experience the rush of free running, exploring every corner of the futuristic city of glass, from the highest, most pristine skyscrapers, to the dark and gritty tunnels.

Check out the trailer for it below, it looks absolutely epic!

Check out our competition where you can win a copy of the game and an Xbox One console here.

To celebrate its release, we’ve decided to look back on some of the most amazing freerunning and parkour videos that have ever appeared on JOE.
