According to a post on Ninja Theory’s IGN blog, Mat Hart, head of production on Heavenly Sword, stated that a demo of the game will appear on the PlayStation Network in the “very near future.”

“I can confirm that we are, of course, going to be releasing a demo for Heavenly Sword… and soon”, he said. “This will be downloadable via the PlayStation Network… so keep an eye out for this in the very near future. And I mean very near future!”

Although I’m speculating here, but a demo release in E3 week would bode well for PS3 gamers.

He also talks about other aspects of the game, including the possibility of a sequel. “The story of the Heavenly Sword was developed with a much longer arc in mind than just a single game,” he said. “In the event that the demand for a sequel is great enough the next ‘chapter’ will be very exciting indeed!”

Heavenly Sword is set for release exclusively on the PS3 this September.
