Heavenly Sword contains over 10GB of audio

Heavenly Sword doesn’t only promise to deliver on stunning visual effects but on player’s audio experience as well. The game will be featuring over 10GB of audio to truly enhance that theatrical experience the developers are going for.

Ninja Theory would really be taking advantage of the storage capacity of the Blu-Ray. The 10GB will comprise over three and a half hours of music and a whopping 4,500 lines of dialogue to completely tell Nariko’s story. Heavenly Sword’s audio team lead Tom Colvin has worked with the game for two and a half years and stresses the importance of sound in the game:

For me, sound is very ‘immediate’ to the player. Music has a well-established cultural language; sound is much less clearly delineated – but you can get straight to someone’s emotional responses with it – there’s little time for the brain to analyse. Sound is key in making this awesome weapon – the Heavenly Sword – come to life so you can sense its brooding power and almost hear it feeding off each kill.

The epic saga of Heavenly Sword unfolds on September 12 for America, September 14 in Europe and September 20 in Australia.
