"Rumour has it that a sequel to aging PlayStation 3 title ‘Heavenly Sword’ is in production and will be officially unveiled at E3. The sequel will allegedly be set ten years after the first title and will be an open world sand box game.

Bit of a curveball this one, everyone has assumed Heavenly Sword was dead and buried although Nariko regularly appears in ‘top ten PS3 babes’ lists. Ninja Theory co-founder Tameem Antoniades has said in the past that the game was intended to be the first of a trilogy and the story for the sequels has been written.

Ninja Theory are busy working on the Devil May Cry reboot for Capcom so it’s unlikely they are involved in any sequel, Sony own the IP so may have given the task to a different developer.

Will Nariko burst from an Ice Cream van and yell ‘Suprise!’ at E3? Not long till we find out"

Very interesting indeed. This is happy news for me. I hope it's one of Santa Monica's games and not Ninja Theory. With a larger install base this game could do pretty well (in my opinion). I am skeptical of the open-world sandbox however as it is a complete opposite of the original.
