God of War: Ascension First Details Confirms Multiplayer – Screenshots Inside

God of War: Ascension First Details Confirms Multiplayer – Screenshots Inside

Sony has released the first God of War: Ascension gameplay details ahead of the live web stream happening later this afternoon, which will officially showcase the game.

It was confirmed by USA Today that the game, currently in development over at Sony Santa Monica Studios, will introduce multiplayer to the series for the very first time.

“Playable by up to eight players, the game’s multiplayer version lets two teams compete, domination style, against each other, but then must ultimately defeat a large God of War-worthy boss for victory,” USA Today explains.

“In the level shown, a gigantic one-cyclops Polythemus pounded and railed over the multileveled map. The camera zoomed in on individual visceral battles. In one, two warriors who look like cousins of Kratos disembowel an enemy and his innards flow out. Later, one combatant cleaves an opponent in half from head to thorax.

“Eventually, the dominating team turns their attention to the Cyclops, attach some chains to restrain it and one leaps to put out its eye. ‘The whole idea behind it is that we want to bring the big moments to multiplayer,’ Papy said after the demonstration.”

The game will be released exclusively on PS3 in Spring 2013. An exact date hasn’t been confirmed.

      Yep they’re from the game, but keep in mind that it’s only going to be released in 2013 so there’s still plenty of work that needs to be done. The graphics could end up looking slightly worse (depending on how huge the game is) or slightly better, but this is a good indication of style and what to expect :)

    Sure it looks good and that’s one of the major GoW boxes ticked but there is no way in hell that it will capture the epic scale and atmosphere of God of war III. It might be a good game but a disappointment for people looking for a follow-on from the third game.
