GOD OF WAR: ASCENSION

God of War: Ascension is an upcoming third person action-adventure video game being developed by SCE Santa Monica Studio and to be published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game is scheduled to be released on March 12, 2013 for the PlayStation 3 video game console and will be the seventh installment in the God of War series and a prequel to the entire series.

It will be the first installment in the series to feature multiplayer, be developed with Stereoscopic 3D and feature a revamped combat and weapon system, and new gameplay mechanics.

Loosely based on Greek mythology, the game will be set in Ancient Greece with the player controlling the protagonist Kratos. Kratos attempts to sever ties with the God of War Ares—who tricked Kratos into murdering his wife and child—by defeating the three Furies. God of War: Ascension will chronologically be the first chapter in the series, forming part of a saga with vengeance as a central theme.

This teaser, the first significant glimpse at single player for 2013, marks the official countdown to the release of the next chapter in this iconic gaming franchise. Set as a prequel to the critically acclaimed series, God of War: Ascension reveals where the epic journey begins and acts as the perfect entry point for new players who are thinking about joining the battle.
