Heavenly Sword II - "Not economically viable".

Sony's official word is "You can't say we canceled a game we never
announced! NYAH!"

Chalk this up as pure rumor for now.

An inside UK source tells us that Heavenly Sword 2 has been canned by
Sony Computer Entertainment of Europe. The game was axed after months
in development because it is no longer seen as commercially viable,
our source tells us.

The news came during an emergency meeting set up for the Sony
Cambridge team which was working on the game.

On a side note, Ninja Theory, who have already said they weren't
working on the sequel to their Playstation 3 exclusive, have grown
increasingly bitter about their treatment at Sony's hands, our source
tells us. I'm told that the development studio, which once had offices
in the same building as Sony Cambridge, have started packing up to
move to a new location.

I guess when they said they wanted to move away from Sony and get into
multi-platform development they weren't kidding.

If true, this marks the third major project, counting Eight Days and
Getaway 3, that has been canned by SCEE. Is the Europe arm of Sony in
trouble? No clue, but we've asked for comment.
