Cut throat

You’ve got more chance of being struck by lightning than playing a Heavenly Sword sequel, but there was a time when a follow-up was in development. This concept art produced by Sony’s Cambridge studio shows the origins of the series’ successor, which had planned to pit protagonist Nariko against the Raven King and his gang.

Rumours suggest Nariko is set to re-emerge as part of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale later this year. We love the character, but we can live without another Heavenly Sword. How about you?
