Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced a release date for the upcoming extended adventures of Kratos on the PSP, God of War: Ghost of Sparta.

Additionally, two pre-order options have been detailed which will give hardcore God of War fans the option of getting all kinds of extra downloadable content (DLC) for the game, or a special Ghost of Sparta PSP bundle with some excellent content… or both!

In the US, God of War: Ghost of Sparta will become available on November 2nd, and if you pre-order at a participating retailer, you’ll be eligible for the following DLC:
