About the game

[PS3]

Emotionally charged, stunningly beautiful and delivering unprecedented dramatic character performance, 'Heavenly Sword' wonderfully showcases the true power of PlayStation 3, offering a real Tour de Force of what the console can do.

A dramatic tale of revenge sees Nariko, a fiery red-haired heroine embark on a quest for vengeance against an invading King and his army. The story builds around the ancient Heavenly Sword, which once belonged to a powerful deity. The ethereal weapon can never be wielded by a mortal without it draining their life-force, killing them within hours.

When the invading King destroys the warrior clan that guards the Heavenly Sword, the clan leader's daughter, Nariko, takes up the sword in a desperate fight for survival. Nariko must now pay the ultimate price as she embarks on one last mission of vengeance against the King and his army before her life is finally drawn to a close…

Andy Serkis, the world's leading CG actor, famous for his roles as Gollum in 'The Lord of the Rings' and Kong in 'King Kong', was heavily involved in the creative process. As well as starring in Heavenly Sword as the villain, King Botan, Serkis was a major contributor to the character development, writing, casting, directing and performance capture for the game.
'Heavenly Sword' features a deep, diverse combat experience, only made possible by the prolific power of PlayStation 3, and will be yet another justification for punishing your wallet to shell out Sony's console of the future!
