Ninja Theory left Heavenly Sword series to go multiformat
Multiformat made more sense
Ninja Theory's Tameem Antonaides has said that they parted ways with Heavenly Sword, the series they created to go multiformat.
Antonaides also said that they would've loved to do a sequel but financial concerns meant that they had to make a choice between the sequel or going multiformat.
"I don't know if Sony made any money on Heavenly Sword but we didn't," said Antonaides to CVG. "There are pros and cons, if you're exclusive you get more attention but when you're multi-platform, at this stage in the cycle, there's more competition. You've got to weigh it against each other."
He continued: "But we couldn't do Heavenly Sword 2 as a multi-platform because it's owned by Sony, the tech we developed for that game is also owned by Sony." He then added on Ninja Theory's desire to do the sequel: "Probably, I think we would have."
Ninja Theory are currently working on multiformat action adventure title Enslaved and a secret title rumoured to be Devil May Cry 5.
