God of War: Ascension Rises Today, Final Multiplayer Allegiance Revealed

[Гость PlayStation®]

PlayStation friends, God of War: Ascension is out across the PAL region today and in Europe from tomorrow!

It represents the culmination of two and a half years of blood, sweat, and tears on behalf of the God of War team at Santa Monica Studio.

We wanted to create the best looking, most playable and compelling entry in the series to date, a game that took every aspect of the experience to a new level, that sought to show long-time fans a different side of the iconic Kratos character, and that added something entirely new yet addictively deep to the franchise: multiplayer, which many of you joined us in playing and improving during our Beta weeks ago.

We put a great deal of thought and effort into the multiplayer modes you’ll discover in Ascension, including the recently revealed two-player cooperative Trial of the Gods. Supporting this new addition to the God of War universe and the community we’re hopeful builds around it for a while to come is of the utmost importance to us.

To that end, we can today confirm a substantial DLC plan, among which will be new armour and weapons sets, new stages to battle in, and much more. All of this will be free for owners of the Ascension Special Edition and Collector’s Edition in EU, since each of these include a comprehensive Season Pass (which will not be available outside these two Editions).

We’ll have plenty more info in the coming weeks at our official site, www.godofwar.com, as we execute on our extensive schedule… Stay tuned!

Ascension’s multiplayer mode, a series first, is about to go live for players around the world. Finally, we’re excited to reveal the fourth and last of the Gods with whom you may ally yourself: Hades.

Of all of the allegiances, Hades executioners have the highest versatility and variety of abilities. With the ability to curse, drain life, become invisible, and create large hazards (all in one load-out), the followers of Hades are able to control the flow of battle.

Hades is neither the strongest offensively nor defensively, but careful tailoring through armors and weapons, based on the situation to subsidize this, will help push you towards whatever role you want to fill — you will be able to do it all.

It’s been a long journey since 2010. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the game, and meet on the battlefield online.

Do well, warrior… ascend!

Looking forward to being among the first to receive access to an exclusive early demo of the highly anticipated PS3 action-adventure The Last of Us, a bonus included in each retail copy of God of War: Ascension? The new target date upon which that access will be unlocked (via the God of War: Ascension main menu) is 31st May 2013. Be sure to pick up a copy of Ascension so you too can be one of the first to check it out!
