You will be seeing a new Ninja Theory IP, this much is made certain as Namco Bandai announced its new publisher role with the Heavenly Sword developers. The announcement was made earlier today at the ongoing GamesCon, and can reportedly be expected for release in 2010 for both the PS3 and Xbox 360.

"Ninja Theory's first title exemplified their incredible talent and ability to delivery a high quality, cinematic and captivating gameplay experience," Makoto Iwai, Namco Bandai Games America's EVP and COO, said.

With producers from our North American office working closely with such a strong European development studio, we will be able to create a blockbuster title with strong pan-Western sensibilities and appeal for a global gaming audience.

For their part, Ninja Theory is just as thrilled about the partnership, with Nina Kristensen, NT co-founder, affirming it. "The support of Namco Bandai combine with the skills and talent we have nurtured over the years means that players are going to be in for a truly deep and memorable experience."

She said that this new project is an opportunity for them to push their core strengths of rich story-telling and cutting-edge technology "beyond anything we have created before."

Heavenly Sword was one of my favorite games for the PS3 so I'm hoping for Heavenly Sword 2. Although it was a short campaign, it packed a lot of storyline. But since it's for the PS3 and 360 it might not be Heavenly Sword 2. Either way, I'm excited to see what Ninja Theory can bring to the table considering all the great games coming out in 2010.

i doubt it'd be Heavenly Sword 2.

Yeah Heavenly Sword is excellent. Won't be that though. Is likely Sony own the IP for that so it wouldn't be multi platform. I'd love to see a HS2 though.
