Remember Ninja Theory? It’s the studio responsible for the PS3-exclusive Heavenly Sword -- a third-person title in the vein of God of War starring a scantily clad and somewhat clever female lead. There were plans for a trilogy -- in fact, it was said in 2007 that the second game was already written -- but the developed dumped it in favor of another project. That project may have been revealed in the latest issue of gaming magazine Game Informer.
In the latest issue -- in a blurb, really -- it is revealed that Ninja Theory’s next title is called Enslaved. It’s set to be a "post-apocalyptic journey," and, that’s really all that was stated. Well, other than plans for Namco-Bandai to publish the title across platforms.
We’re up for anything Ninja Theory has to show. Heavenly Sword was on the cusp of being a great title. If it just had a bit more polish -- especially with the boss battles and SIX-AXIS motion crap -- we’d probably be talking about it in a radically different way. Hopefully, we’ll get some more substantive information about Enslaved in the near future.

Heavenly sword also had the best facial animation to its date, but uncharted 2 seems to have done a little better.
The facial animation was extraordinary in HS, better than 90 pecent of games today. Every graphical aspect of the game really was a showcase of current gen graphics and why they are vastly superior to last gen's. The textures were very high-res, the backdrops beautiful, and the character models astounding.
They really put a LOT of effort into that game. It did sell a million copies, eventually, but not enough profit was made. Shame because it had okay gameplay, it was copied from GoW 1/2 after all, both awesome games.
HS is one of the few games this generation that told a wonderful, brilliant revenge type story. Top that off with stellar acting (Andy Serkis did the dramatic direction) and it is, by far, one of my favourites of this generation.
I have high hopes they do something special with their new game.
WHAT!?! Oh man. I was really looking forward to playing a well done sequel. Now, now that the devloped dumped it... shit.
Hmmm... a "post-apocalyptic journey," if it's anything like Cormac McCarthy's The Road then sign me up.
YES. Fucking awesome comment. Any other post-apocalyptic is just ordinary, but you cited The Road.
