Heavenly Sword producer says demo coming soon

New details have emerged regarding Ninja Theory‘s upcoming Heavenly Sword game for the PlayStation 3. The info comes in from producer Mat Hart, who confirmed that a game demo was going to be released soon during a Q&A session at the Heavenly Sword blog at IGN. Hart explained that it would downloadable via PSN when it became available:

I can confirm that we are, of course, going to be releasing a demo for Heavenly SwordÂ…and soon! This will be downloadable via the Playstation NetworkÂ…so keep an eye out for this in the very near futureÂ…and i mean very near future!

We’re assuming he means the standalone demo currently under works with the Sony Cambridge team. As with regards to game-related goodies, Mr. Hart said that Ninja Theory decided to cram as much as they could into Heavenly Sword‘s standard version. The game’s retail release is expected to contain several behind-the-scenes features, as well as the first two episodes of a special animated feature detailing the events that occurred before the game’s story begins.

As for the guys wondering if Heavenly Sword ends with this game, Mr. Hart explained that “The story of the Heavenly Sword was developed with a much longer arc in mind than just a single game,” implying that if this title sells, then we just might be looking at a sequel or two…or three? On a side note, Mr. Hart is letting the fans know HS will be released in 720p HD.
