 | | 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 draining their life-force,
killing them within hours.
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 drawn to a close…
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 PLAYSTATION 3
game.
