Sony Announce God of War: Ascension

Sony Computer Entertainment have announced big plans to release God of War: Ascension, the newest installment of the multi-million selling, award-winning God of War franchise, exclusively for PlayStation 3.  Developed by Sony Studios’ Santa Monica Studio, God of War: Ascension is a prequel that will show Kratos’ strife ridden path of redemption whilst detailing the rise of his rage to ultimately break free from Ares’ bond. Epic cinematic storytelling, intense battles, and blockbuster moments will all be present, along with a number of enhancements, including a revamped combat system and a brand new online multiplayer mode that combines the brutal gameplay and large-scale battles God of War is known for, in-order to create a competitive, blood-soaked experience like never before.

“The bar is set quite high for this franchise as each God of War title succeeds in being better than the last,” said Todd Papy, Game Director, God of War: Ascension, SCE WWS Santa Monica Studios.  “But, unlike previous releases, we’re providing a deeper look into Kratos’ tormented past and psyche that fans have not seen before.  Combined with refined gameplay, jaw-dropping visuals, and a fresh twist on competitive gaming with our new online multiplayer mode, I guarantee that God of War: Ascension will give fans what they have been eagerly waiting for, and much more.”

God Of War: Ascension will be releasing exclusively for the Playstation 3, a date has yet to be announced. Expect to see more at this year’s E3 in June.
