At first we were to believe the God of War video game series was to be a trilogy, but today Sony anounced their upcoming new sequel in the God of War franchise: 'God of War: Ascension'. A release date has been planned for spring 2013. Check out the first trailer below!
The popular PS3 exclusive title is back for at least a fourth installment, again created by the very talented team of Sony Santa Monica. Todd Papy, game director of 'GOW:Ascension' has promised more details will be made available on Monday April 30th at a live streaming event.
If you have any question for Todd, you can tweet him @Playstation and he will answer them live (be sure to include #godofwarascension in your Tweet). They're expecting a lot from this, so if your question has been picked, you will receive a signed poster of GOW:Ascension. Check God of War: Ascension of Facebook to follow the event live on April 30th at 8am Pacific Time.
GOW: Ascension will be a prequel to the series and will show Kratos as a human. In the previous games Kratos, a captain of the Spartan army, promised to serve Ares, the God of War for the rest of his life, if he would help him defeat an immense invading army. Kratos is then bound with the 'Blades of Chaos' and defeats not only his enemies, but continues to conquer all of Greece. Ares then has Kratos kill his own wife and family in a village of Athena, after which he is cursed by 'the Oracle' and becomes 'the Ghost of Sparta'. Serving Athena, his only redemption lies in killing Ares, the god of War.
