Heavenly Sword Demo Very Soon

A Heavenly Sword demo should be making its way to the PlayStation Network very soon, according to the game's head of production Mat Hart, who's revealed a wealth of new information on developer Ninja Theory's offical IGN blog.

While answering many different questions from Heavenly Sword fans, Hart tackled a query concerning a downloadable demo. "I can confirm that we are, of course, going to be releasing a demo for Heavenly Sword... and soon," he said. "This will be downloadable via the Playstation Network... so keep an eye out for this in the very near future. And I mean very near future!"

Hart also confirmed that, while Ninja Theory discussed releasing a special-edition of the game with Sony, it was decided to "cram the retail release with as many extras as the developer could fit onto Blu-ray". These extras include the first two episodes of a special animated series exploring the history of Heavenly Sword.

Finally, Hart confirmed he's already hoping to produce a series of Heavenly Sword titles. "The story of the Heavenly Sword was developed with a much longer arc in mind than just a single game. In the event that the demand for a sequel is great enough the next 'chapter' will be very exciting indeed!"
