God of War: Ascension Footage Shown

Gameplay for God of War Ascension was shown at Sony’s Press Conference at E3. The footage showed Kratos fighting against minotaur-type enemies with a one handed sword, as well as his chained blades. The gameplay is very similar to the previous games. Kratos still fights as brutally as ever.

Apparently, Kratos also has some new powers such as being able to repair structures to make his way through. Some new elephant-like monsters were also shown.

The footage ended as Kratos fought against a leviathan and jumped into it’s mouth. The full gameplay demo is below:

The game will be released on March 12th, 2013.
