Earlier in the year we got a hint that Heavenly Sword might have multi-player. Well now it has been confirmed that online multiplayer will be a free add on in the PlayStation Store in November of this year. It will have DM, 1 vs 1, Capture The Flag, Control and 2 modes that have not been revealed.

Heavenly Sword will be getting online multiplayer in November 2007. It will be a downloadable add-on via the PlayStation Store. It will be free of charge. There will be several modes available in online play. You will create yourآ own custom warrior to fight online, with a varitey of customization options. You can also download accessories and many other items for your warrior on the PlayStation Store.آ Currently the modes available are:
Deathmatch (Maximum of 8 players per game)
PVP (1 vs. 1)
Capture the Flag (16 players)
Control (Capture all the Zones on the map to win, 16 players)
2 modes that have yet to be revealed

The download will also bring splitscreen offline and splitscreen online (similar to Warhawk) to the game. Online seems to be a must this generation and Ninja Theory will be bringing it to Heavenly Sword. Hopefully it isn’t just tacked on, I wouldn’t mind them even delaying the game to make sure that online is available on the day of release.

    I want some screens though, I don't know how they are going to pull this off successfully, but I hope they do.

    Yeah, I too am wondering how they will pull this off...they only online game with modes like that, that I've seen, are shooters...

    Just how would they play? *imagines a large arena with characters running around trying to jump slash eachother*
