May 16, 2005 - The development team Just Add Monsters made news as one of the first teams to announce next-generation game console development with a title later known as Heavenly Sword. At the time, the game was assumed to be a next-gen Xbox game -- this coming from the team that did the multiplayer first-party title, Kung Fu Chaos. But that's not the case -- the game has been confirmed, as part of SCEI's PS3 unveiling, as an exclusive for Sony's system.
This news confirms a trademark registration by SCE earlier this year for the game, sealing it away as a PS3 title. Heavenly Sword, now in development by Ninja Theory (the J.A.M. team split and renamed itself after Argonaut hit troubled waters), is a medieval fantasy game for the PS3. As with every game on the system, it will push HDTV-quality visuals, and boasts some incredible texture and lighting effects from what we have seen of the game.
We'll cut into Heavenly Sword once we get a chance to learn more about this project.
