Description

Kratos is back for the PlayStation 3, but this time, the story takes place before we originally knew him. SCE Santa Monica brings us God of War: Ascension -- a prequel to the initial God of War game from the mid 2000s.

Six months have elapsed since Kratos stood before the bodies of his wife and child, his hands stained with their blood. He was duped by Ares into killing the only people he ever loved. Vowing to avenge them, Kratos shattered the blood oath that bound him to Ares. As a result, he was sentenced to an eternity chained within a prison for the living damned.

Kratos must battle insanity at the hands of the Furies. He will be tested as he seeks freedom, redemption for his sins, and the clarity to avenge his family.

God of War: Ascension also features an online-only mode with both cooperative and competitive play.
