Ninja Theory, the developers that brought us Heavenly Sword, are moving forward in the creation of their next game. Something exciting is in the cooking pot and the hinting makes us giddy.

A developer on the official Ninja Theory forums has aroused their fans with news that they are back to working hard. This is very soon after releasing their mammoth 4 year project that was Heavenly Sword, but not unheard of.

The Ninja (as each developer likes to be referred to) also regrettably says that they must be tight lipped, but that what they are working on is “pretty amazing”.

Very exciting indeed, since their first PS3 game was a beauty to look at with very high production values. A game that had moments of genius, but sadly fell a bit short.

What Ninja Theory’s next project might be, we could only hazard a guess. The sequel to Heavenly Sword would be likely, since Tameem Antoniades stated that it was one of a trilogy in an Insomniac Games podcast.

There were other hints at the premiere of Games Eden, a networking organisation in Cambridge, UK. At the event a Ninja Theory spokesperson repeatedly referred to their recently released game as “Heavenly Sword 1″, as noted by Eurogamer.

Keep your ears pricked, and your swords cocked – as we expect an announcement about Ninja Theory’s new project some time next year.
