Heavenly Sword 90% complete - Multiplayer add-on a possibility
In an interview with Eurogamer, Tameem Antoniades (co-founder of Ninja Theory) discusses the upcoming Heavenly Sword. While the complete interview is not yet available - Eurogamer will be posting it up tomorrow morning - a snippet regarding the possible multiplayer aspect of the game was 'released early'. If you will.
The gist is, similarly to Insomniac's Ratchet and Clank Future development philosophy, Ninja Theory have been focusing on the single player aspect of the game so that it can be as deep and immersive as possible. But there's a twist. With the combat system being developed on multiplayer test levels there is a strong possibility that we will see some form of multiplayer become part of the game. Not at launch, however, but as a downloadable expansion at some point. Antoniades assures that when it's done, it will be done right. Not 'slapped-on to please marketing tick-boxes', as he puts it. Excellent.
Be sure to check out Eurogamer tomorrow for the full interview. No doubt I'll have one of my famous (they are famous, right ..?) summaries up before too long, too.
