UK developer Ninja Theory has revealed to GamesIndustry.biz that, contrary to rumours, it is not working on a sequel to PlayStation 3 title Heavenly Sword – a Sony Computer Entertainment owned IP.
The new title which is based on an original IP has already been signed by a publisher and will take around two and a half years to complete.
“We’re certainly targeting a triple-A blockbuster, with two and a half years in production – a big game that builds on our core strengths of story-telling, cinematics and combat,” said Nina Kristensen, co-founder and chief developer at Ninja Theory.
Kristensen also revealed that the team is “considering opportunities in creating a CGI movie using the game engine alongside the game itself,” although confirmed the game is “certainly the most important thing”.
Heavenly Sword certainly showed enough promise for us to be excited to see what the developer can pull off in its next project, it’s just a shame it’s probably several years away from release.
