I bet you thought you were safe after the recent Kratos-fest – God of War III (March 19) and God of War Collection (April 30) – but no! He’s not finished with us mortals yet!
SCEA have announced that Kratos will be back, later this year in God of War: Ghost of Sparta, exclusive to the PSP and PSPgo. The game will be developed by Ready At Dawn Studios, the same team that bought us Chains of Olympus. SCEA are also boasting that the game will have “25% more gameplay, an improved weapon system, and new magical powers”.
Along with the announcement, several screenshots were also released. Click on a thumbnail for larger view.
“This new adventure will serve as a prequel of sorts, picking up where God of War left off. Ghost of Sparta tells the story of Kratos’ ascension to power as the God of War. In his quest to rid the nightmares that haunt him, Kratos must face his dark past to prove his worthiness to the Gods — a journey that will reveal the origins of lost worlds and finally answer long-awaited questions about Kratos’ tattoo, scar, and family.”
Hmm, seems interesting. Glad they’re doing a lot of combat. I always find PSP games of this sort, which pair with a console, to actually tell more of a story than the bigger games instead of actually being action oriented. Most likely due to the limitations of the PSP but in my mind I always associate PSP titles of a franchise to be a ‘plot filler’ lol
