EA is planning to turn Mirror's Edge into a trilogy of titles. That's not to say that content is being cut from the first title to appear later in other titles, it's just going to have an overarching storyline.
Senior Producer for EA DICE, Owen O'Brien, explains the reason behind the three game split.

Senior Producer for EA DICE, Owen O'Brien, explains the reason behind the three game split.
"The story we're telling at the moment is kind of a trilogy, a three-story arc. For these first couple games, it's all about Faith. It's all about her experience in the world.
"I think there's a lot of scope to take the story in different directions, or maybe tell someone else's story. I think the world we've created, the city and the culture and the environment, is almost as interesting, or more interesting than any one individual story.
"[A level editor is] something we're probably going to look out for the sequel. The thing is, the game is so easy to play and intuitive, that creating a level editor is a skill in itself. If we do it, we want to make the editor as easy to use and intuitive as the game is."
Three different games, perhaps another playable character, and a level editor is planned.
