1) 150 years in the future. Awesome. Giant mechanical airships in the sky. Main character has a “headband” that will blow up if you don’t follow mysterious chick who walked into your life!

2) Facial expression system from HS being applied to the body this time. Andy Serkis voices main character named “Monkey”, and responsible for CASTING.

3) Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Sunshine) doing the dialogue.

4) No co-op, but a second character is involved in the (theoretically) third-person adventure.

5) Game takes place in “dilapidated new york”

6) Action “more strategic than heavenly swords”

7) Composer Nitin Sawhney (The NameSake) is back for “Enslaved” soundtrack

8 ) “Trip”, the other character (responsible for forcing “monkey” into the explosive collar, who controls him to help her get to her village), is “controllable” in the sense that you can issue some basic commands.

We know Rhianna Pratchett isn’t back with Ninja Theory for their new game, but I wanted to post this anyway since she mentioned some things about working with Andy Serkis back in the Heavenly Sword days.

GM: How is it working with the likes of Andy Serkis? Is Hollywood the next step for Rhianna Pratchett?

RP: Andy was great to work with on Heavenly Sword. He was a wonderful asset and an awesome King Bohan. I think he had much more of a genuine impact than most Hollywood types who get involved in games and just phone-in their lines. As for me, I have an agent now, so who knows where that could lead. I don’t want to ever completely leave games, though. They’re my first love.

Guess who’s number 1.
