God of War: Ascension takes godslaying online with multiplayer focus
A familiar face appears on the screen, moments before a demo for God of War: Ascension begins. Zoomed in, the angry mug resembles angry antihero Kratos, but as the camera pans away it becomes obvious: this is someone completely different.
Suddenly, a Cyclops bursts through a wooden door near the new character and the demo begins. The new character, decked out in armor inspired by the Greek God Poseidon, moves with the swiftness of Kratos. His sword pierces the lumbering ogre’s skin as he leaps away from the giant’s club swings. In the blink of an eye, another character jumps onto the screen and attacks the beast with a giant hammer. The pair of soldiers mercilessly cut the Cyclops down, working together to mount the creature and slice its belly apart. As blood and guts slide out of the monster’s gut, the surrounding area explodes into a set of orbs.
Without a moment of hesitation, the pair walk through the newly opened structure before them, coming to the mouth of a large canyon. In the distance, a giant one-eyed cyclops based on Polyphemus, son of Poseidon and Thoosa, engages a large group of soldiers fierce battle. But it isn’t a battle between A.I.; Ascension introduces God of War fans to team-based multiplayer.
