I’m glad no one was around when I read this, because my face probably would have been priceless!

Playstation Lifestyle reports: “According to the latest issue of the UK PlayStation Magazine, PlayGamer, the sequel is in development and takes place 10 years after the events of the first game.”

What’s New?

Ten years later…this could be the story of Kai since Nariko died at the end.
Ninja Theory continues to deny that they are making a sequel (since they “moved on,” leaving us hanging with the first story in a trilogy, for gosh sakes) so it may be a new developer.
Weapon will not be available from the start. You have to earn it.
Open-world sandbox with re-playable missions.

IMO

I’m so excited! I truly loved Heavenly Sword, and I think it was the first game I played on the PS3. Since then, I’ve never seen another game take as much advantage of the Sixaxis controller, so I remain impressed.

The main character was also my heart’s desire in a video game character. A strong, non-Caucasian female with a BIG GIANT SWORD. In fact, the short stories I write (yeah I write short stories…surprised?) have a character with the same skin tone, hair color, and overall badassery. What is funny is that I created that character back in middle school, so it really did seem to be a game made just for me.

My biggest problem was that the ending was such a cliffhanger. Here she is, in “heaven” telling a story…but you don’t really know why…why was she so cursed if she was the savior?

I hope we get some answers and I hope this new open-world sandbox format doesn’t ruin it…because it just seems so different from the original.

Heck, I hope the rumor is even true! Guess we’ll find out at E3!
