God of War is getting multiplayer?
That’s right, and in a video interview with God of War: Ascension game director Todd Papy, we discover the innovative ways in which the team at Sony Santa Monica will be introducing online competitive to this classic brawling franchise.
We’ve also just included the debut (brutal) screenshots and (gory) gameplay video for God of War: Ascension multiplayer - enjoy it all below!
The internet is abuzz after Sony announced God of War: Ascension earlier today and released the first spectacular trailer for the game. Since then new details about God of War: Ascension have emerged, including a possible release window.
So what has been Sony Computer Entertainment’s big news this whole time? It wasn’t God of War IV as we may have guessed, but it is a game set in the God of War franchise as we had surmised.
And Kratos is back. In a prequel on PlayStation 3.
Cast your eyes on the teaser trailer for God of War: Ascension!
An exciting announcement from Sony Computer Entertainment is due any day now… this week, in fact, with a teaser image recently appearing on the company’s Facebook page outing a date of ‘April 19th.’
What might be revealed on this date? With talk of vengeance and redemption, all signs point to a new entry to the God of War franchise, God of War IV being the most obvious one.
This isn’t the first time we’ve been teased (and outright smacked) with God of War IV news, though.
The new ‘timeline’ design and layout in Facebook may have been resisted for some time, but now that it’s officially rolled over and we’ve now been forced to use it, it’s actually pretty neat. Being able to put up your own large custom banner image at the top of your personal or business page is one of the nicer additions and can be used for lots of great purposes.
Like teasing the next blockbuster videogame.
According to a listing on the site of South African videogame retailer BT Games, God of War IV is due for release in February 2013.
If you happened to stroll through the streets of Cologne, Germany today you couldn’t help but to notice the vast number of Uncharted 3 billboard advertisements dominating the city. This prominence is, of course, due to the gamescom videogame expo, the largest in the world, which kicks off this week and will see scores of thousands of gaming fanatics pouring through the doors of the Koelnmesse to see the latest and greatest that the videogame world has to offer.
Sony was hit hard earlier this year by the PlayStation Network hack and the resulting backlash against the PlayStation brand. Despite this, 2011 has been a bumper year for the company in terms of a number of triple-A exclusives being released for PlayStation 3. We’ve already enjoyed the likes of LittleBigPlanet 2 and inFAMOUS 2, but what about the games we’ve still got to look forward to this year such as Uncharted 3, Resistance 3 and Journey?
Sony will undoubtedly have a large presence at gamescom, and I know my fellow contributors can’t wait to see what the company shows off at the event. I put a list together of some of my hoped-for highlights and here it is for your reading pleasure.
