Ninja Theory has finally released some new details surrounding their next project. Sadly, for those of us who were hoping for a sequel to Heavenly Sword will be slightly disappointed by the news. While speaking with GameIndustry.biz, Ninja Theory revealed that their next title will be an original IP for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Despite recent rumors that the studio was working on a sequel to Heavenly Sword, the company has very bluntly denied these rumors and is moving forward with other projects.
Aside from developing new games, the studio also intends to expand in the CGI movie business. Nina Kristensen, co-founder and chief developer at Ninja Theory, revealed that development team is highly considering working on a CGI movie to compliment the new game.
“We’re certainly targeting a triple-A blockbuster, with two and a half years in production – a big game that builds on our core strengths of story-telling, cinematics and combat. But we’re actually looking at something in addition to that – we’re considering opportunities in creating a CGI movie using the game engine alongside the game itself,” she stated.
“The game’s certainly the most important thing, and we haven’t decided for sure to do this, but it’s something we’re looking at. It’s an interesting idea,” concluded Kristensen.
