Official description

Heavenly Sword is a stunningly beautiful martial arts drama designed exclusively as a next-generation console game. The storyline concerns a girl with only a few days left to live who embarks on one final act of redemption against a king and his invading army. Heavenly Sword employs state-of-the-art technology and gameplay to take players through a roller coaster of emotion and action that truly exploits the potential of gaming as the new artistic entertainment medium.

Or to put it another way, it's totally sweet!!!

That's about all we can reveal for now. In the meantime, why not browse through the sumptuous screenshots and pop over to the forums to catch up with the very latest gossip?
