Heavenly Sword 2 to be developed by non-Ninja Theory team

Ninja Theory's plan to split from Sony probably crushed the hopes of Heavenly Sword fans for a sequel. However, last we checked, Sony owns the rights to the IP which means that a game is still possible ... just under a different dev team.

We think Heavenly Sword 2 is still in the cards; the fact that Sony did ask Ninja Theory about doing HS2 shows interest in continuing the series. We think probably there might be an official announcement at E3 about another team doing the game, but not much beyond that. So no screenshots or vids. Just something short.
