Ninja Theory signs up with Namco

By Ellie Gibson Published 19 August, 2009

New PS3 and Xbox 360 title in dev.

Ninja Theory has signed a new publishing deal with Namco Bandai Games.

The announcement was made at the NBG press conference in Cologne today. Apparently Ninja Theory's new game is in development for PS3 and Xbox 360, but that's all they're saying so far. Not so much as a piece of concept art was shown.

Ninja Theory, you may recall, developed Heavenly Sword - but since then they've been a bit quiet. Read our review if you fancy a trip down memory lane.

    Ninja Theory not doing exclusivity, after last one was not a roaring success as much as they'd hoped perhaps?

    I'd be happy with the original on the GoD service

    Would love an HS2. Game had truly gorgeous sections.

    I liked Heavenly Sword. Well made, if a little laborious at times. Could look stunning at points.

    Heavenly Sword, one to rent. Okay to play, fantastic set pieces in places, but feels a little short and limited. They should have spent a bitt more time on how the game played and the levels design.
    And some of the boss fights are terrible.

    For some reason I always thought Sony had bought them as part of their Cambridge studios, I guess I was wrong.
