Heavenly Sword demo finished News

PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

19 July, 2007

The demo for Heavenly Sword is finished and waiting on Sony for a PlayStation Network release date.

News comes from developer Ninja Theory's forum, where studio co-founder Mike Ball told fans that work on it had finally been completed.

"Well, let me just tell you all that the dev team has finished work on the demo," he said. "That's it, it's in the bag."

"So now it's a case of Sony deciding when they feel is the best time to release it to PlayStation Network."

Heavenly Sword is one of the biggest titles on PS3 this year, and was on show last week in Santa Monica at E3 2007.

It's a third-person action game with God of War-like combat and what is promised to be an emotional and cinematic story - directed and voiced by Andy "Gollum" Serkis. It's even got brain-box WETA involved, the visual effects studio made famous by its work on Peter Jackson's Lord of The Rings.

We recently had a chin-wag with one of the other co-founders and designer at Ninja Theory, Tameem Antoniades. Head over to our Heavenly Sword interview to see what he had to say.

Unfortunately Sony was unavailable to comment at the time of writing.

Demo is dated for an E.U PSN release of 26th guys!

Come on, keep an eye on the thread we made and this news wouldn't be three days old!

I'm still hoping the U.S get it this Friday.

Can't wait for this game, it is looking excellent, and could be the PS3's first genuine killer app.

Hurry up Sony!

tonynibbles, thanks for the head up re the 5 pages long thread on this subject elsewhere.

That the thing with EG, when they post new article we always start the new thread from there without realising that there is exisiting and more informed thread elsewhere. Would be good if we could somehow make it easier to marry the new recent article and also automatically signposting to the exisiting threads?

Anyway, what time on 26th?!!!!

@space ace

How exactly do you "leak" something onto a closed platform?

@Kangarootoo

If packaged properly, you could have the demo be a link on a web-site and get it via the PS3's web browser, rather than through the PSN.

I think the best time is next week.. keep the momentum going! It will release around BioShock.. Bioshock would be in trouble with Xbox faulty issue.. in particular Australia.
