Sony revealed a teaser trailer for God of War: Ascension today. This game is not a sequel to God of War III, so it is not God of War IV, as many of you were anticipating. Yes, it’s just another prequel.
The trailer does not reveal much, but tells us that the game will be about Kratos ‘before rage consumed him’. Which means, this story will probably be set even before the story of Chains of Olympus. It will be about when Kratos had not yet become the Ghost of Sparta. The narration is once again done by Gaia, who did the narration for the previous games as well.
A time when in spite of the madness that plagued him, Kratos would break his blood oath to an unjust God, A time when he will no longer be bound in blood.
Amazon.com posted the box art for the game (which is not yet final). Amazon also said “Join Kratos as he seeks freedom, redemption, and the clarity to avenge his family in the most ambitious God of War adventure in the series so far.”
The link has now been removed from Amazon.
Although this is not the game I was hoping for, it does look good. I would certainly want to know more about Kratos and his past. What do you think of this? Let me know in the comments below.
