Kratos returns to his past in ‘God of War: Ascension’

Kratos returns as Sony announces the latest title to their very popular franchise, God of War: Ascension.

A teaser trailer was released on the PlayStation blog along with the promise of more information at an April 30 event. The trailer doesn’t show any game footage, but does insinuate that players will be going back in time to when Kratos was first tapped by Ares as his instrument of war.

There is also quite a bit of imagery depicting Kratos apparently in Hades (again) as he is tormented by Cerberus and Medusa, and bound in chains. But the voice over says it will also be “a time when he would no longer be bound in blood.”

There is no date for release of this prequel, but as always, it will be a PlayStation exclusive for the PS3. Click the thumbnails below for trailer images.
