Heavenly Sword started development on PC with a view to moving onto next generation platforms such as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Sony and Ninja Theory have made five 'making of' videos about the production of Heavenly Sword, with each one detailing a certain aspect of the games production, from music to motion capture. The videos can either be unlocked whilst playing the game or downloaded from the PlayStation Store.
STORY:
The story builds around the ancient Heavenly Sword, which once belonged to a powerful deity. A mortal can never wield it without it slowly but inevitably draining their life force. When the invading King destroys the warrior clan that guards the Heavenly Sword, the clan leader daughter, Nariko, takes up the sword in a desperate fight for survival. Nariko must now pay the ultimate price as she embarks on one last mission of vengeance against the King and his army before her life is finally and irreparably overtaken by the omnipotent Heavenly Sword.
