Ninja Theory’s hack and slash title from 2007 was slated to see a sequel, before Sony axed the project. Â An animation reel was recently brought to light that indicated the sequel was indeed becoming a reality. Â The original title was highly regarded as one of the best launch titles for Sony’s current-gen offering.
Fans of the original had gotten their hopes up on sequel, hoping that Ninja Theory could rectify some of the problems that the game had in a sequel. Â Martin Binfield revealed that as late as 2008 he had been working on the title, but the recent animation video that shows off some of his work, paints a picture of numerous titles that never saw the light of day. Â Some where fairly prevelant, like The Getaway 3, and of course, Heavenly Sword 2.
You can check out the animation reel below, which features a few titles that could have seen the light of day on the PS3 if things had turned out differently. Â It’s still a possibility that Sony will call back to Heavenly Sword for a sequel at some point, but the company will likely need some interest shown by the community.
