Mat Hart, head of production on the PLAYSTATION 3 exclusive Heavenly Sword, has been responding to reader questions and feedback on his IGN hosted blog, bringing word of game details and, more importantly, information on a forthcoming demo version of the game. He writes that Ninja Theory is planning on giving PS3 owners an early look at the game any day now, the retail version of which is schedule to ship in 2007.

I can confirm that we are, of course, going to be releasing a demo for Heavenly Sword...and soon! This will be downloadable via the Playstation Network...so keep an eye out for this in the very near future...and i mean very near future!

Hmm. Say like, next week? Possibly the day after Sony's E3 keynote with the regular PlayStation Store update? I'll put my virtual money on that.

Mat also provides some technical details—the game will run in 720p, will not ship with a special edition SKU, will not feature any platforming—and additional insight in his blog.
