Emotionally charged, stunningly beautiful, and delivering unprecedented
dramatic character performance, Heavenly Sword showcases the power of
PLAYSTATION 3. 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. It can never be wielded by a mortal without it slowly but
inevitably draining their life-force.
When the invading King (played by Andy Serkis) 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 and irreparably overtaken by the omnipotent Heavenly
Sword…
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, Andy was a major contributor to the character development, writing,
casting, directing and performance capture for the PS3 title.
Heavenly Sword features a deep, diverse combat experience made possible only
on PS3.
