Rumour: Sony Cut Heavenly Sword Sequel in 2008

The original Heavenly Sword wasn’t quite the breakout success Sony expected it to be, but there was still a sequel in the works.

The CV of former Sony Cambridge staffer Martin Binfield has revealed that a sequel to the action title was in development in 2008 before being cancelled.

An animation reel by the same developer also offers an insight into a number of other shelved PlayStation 3 projects. Recently Sony Cambridge was working on a sci-fi shooter, while it also started production on a “lifestyle project" back in 2007. There’s no mention of the heavily rumoured MediEvil sequel however.

Sony Cambridge has since been partnered with Guerrilla Games, and is thought to be working on the next Killzone title for Vita. Check out Binfield’s showreel below for a glimpse at what could have been.
