Hi, this is Kyle, I’m a producer here at SCEA’s Santa Monica Studios. One of the titles I am working on, and quite frankly playing most often, is Heavenly Sword. I’ve read a lot of your comments on this blog about this title and I’m happy to confirm the reports that we’ll have a downloadable demo coming this week to the PLAYSTATION Store.
The complete game is still set for September, but I think you’ll find this demo is a great sample of what’s in store and it’ll certainly give you a good idea of the look and feel of the game. To set the stage here, at the beginning of this demo, our heroine, Nariko, gains consciousness after a violent encounter with the evil King Bohan and his army. Nariko learns that Bohan is holding her father, Shen, prisoner inside a massive temple complex so she sets out to fulfill her destiny and embarks on a quest for vengeance against the invading King and his army.
Keep a lookout for the demo on the PLAYSTATION Store this week, I’m anxious to read what you guys think of it.

I love AssassinXIII’s comments. They’re just so off topic that I end up loving them, against all my better judgment.
Yet, somehow I love the fact the Heavenly Sword is hitting this Thursday more. Way more.
Wait, I hate AssassinXIII.
great news!!!
AWESOME!!
keep up the great work!!
now if only we can get some PS3 footages of Assassin’s Creed and that 15 Minute Gameplay of MGS4, that’kk make us very happy…for a while.
I sure wish someone would update us on the PS3 “achievements”, what games will have them, when, how they work, etc.
WOOHOO! Not only is it a demo, it’s a demo of heavenly sword!!! Speaking of demos, europe got the demo to the darkness, is NA going to get that too?
@JANDER
I LOVE YOU TOO
WAIT I HATE YOU
LOLZ
BTW I JUST ATE
WOW!! The cover art is great! I AM EXCITED FOR THIS GAME!!! The art design and dramatic story will definitely surpass anything 360 has to offer (including the nerdfest that is Mass Effect).
Anyone know what happened to http://www.PS3TAGS.com? The site has been down for a while.
@Darkendless

HAHAHAHA.LOL!
@Kyle
We hope to here more when you get done working or spending time with your family. Whatever your doing I would still love the Sixaxis details when your done.
@Travis
Can we get the Travis’ review?
THANK YOU!!!
Kyle, you’re the man! Thanks for the heads up bro :]
Hey, I have one question. Is that little girl Nariko’s sister, or daughter?
@ 56:
Dude, we’ll be getting a demo for LBP eventually. Don’t be surprised if we get it pretty soon…
wow this game looks awesome and I cant wait to play it!!!
I have some questions for this game:
1. Is there any online ranking for this game after you beat it?
2. Is there any downloadable contents for this game ex. different kinds of hair for Nariko, different customes, maybe MORE super moves, OR MAYBE MUTI-PLAYER for this game?
3. Is there like a COLLECTOR’S EDITION of this game?
NINJA THEORY ROCKS!!!
IM LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAY NINJA THEORY GAMES!!!

Kyle Mr. Viper, you are the man. Good stuff, we’re pretty anxious to get our hands on the demo too!
Thanks.
Looking forward to the demo!!
This game is looking HOT HOT HOT!!
And to the mods, you guys should make a shoutbox or something for all the people that have nothing better to do *cough AssasinXIII cough*.
These kids think that by posting in CAPS over and over and over again, suddenly their updates will come true.
The joys of the internet.
I’m soooo happy, that I’m going outside, to shoot a litter of baby kittens out of a cannon. Don’t worry, they’ll have parachutes.
Sony Read This
I want you to take a look at this thread:
http://www.ps3forums.com/showthread.php?p=1718412
I hope you can address the PlayStation Store issues on mainly third-party support. Today XBOX Live just received a NASCAR 08 and All-Pro Football 2K8. I want All-Pro Football 2K8 but how am I supposed to see if it’s any good? Look at that link to see the multiplatform E3 demos they received and we didn’t. I like you Sony and I don’t want you falling behind. Please, get every multiplatform demo that Live has and then get more.
@NICK
YEAH
THEY SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE KIDS
I wonder how much space this demo will take up.
Bring it on! This game is going to be sex.
That’s good…..now all I need is a PS3….
@MrDaBucket
Go pick one up tomorrow bro. It will make you happy.
Give me, Give me, Give me, Give me the demo.
Really looking forward to this demo on thursday. Was wondering if there will be more games that are designed for women. My wife is not interested in FPS or any of the sports games I have. I’m hoping that she may take an interest in Heavenly Sword. One game that she really liked was the bowling game that was at E3.
Thanks i can’t wait to try it out. nice box art too.
Hey Kyle,
Thanks for the demo. You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this :). I pre-ordered this game since november because it was supposed to be a launch title. I guess the wait has paid off, I hear the game is amazing.
I hope Patcher is right about the price drop on the 80 gig. I wanna see PS3 sell better…
Anyhow, can’t wait until the new demo. Just two more days!
I am looking forward to it
Well ladies and gentelmen hopefuly we will here more from Kyle and mabey Travis tommorow. Thur, Heavenly Sword demo, the 31st 300 hits Blu-Ray and Aug 14th Lair drops. Are we spoiled or what. And we got a firmware update today.

Is this MrDaBucket from AGI?
BTW this has been the post with the most red comments. very cool.
This message is for Lempel, or Patrick, is there anyway we can get that Metal Gear footage Kojima showed in the PSN on thursday? I would love to see that running 1080P. Thanks
I just can’t wait for this…
Honestly you guys (Sony) have been on a roll for the last 3 – 4 weeks. I always knew you guys had our best intrest at heart and now soon everyone will know the same. You guys have never given me a reason to doubt your decisions. Maybe had me a bit worried from time to time, but you guys have never done me wrong. Keep up the good work and keep this party rollin’!
i can’t wait for this demo!
Thanx you very much. I hope there are more where that came from
[…] Full Story […]
Indeed 40cal, can’t wait for 300 on blu-ray, and lair (although I heard it was pushed back till october? can anyone confirm this?) hopefully we’ll get a demo of that game soon as well.
P.S. Maybe Travis and Kyle are busy making that
fakeHeavenly Sword package for you. ^^-DH
