With God of War: Ascension a little over a month away, it should come as no surprise that promotion for the game has kicked off alongside the infamous Super Bowl television spots. Fans of Kratos’ struggle will finally be able to play through the events that lead up to the original God of War, once Ascension releases on March 12th.
The live-action trailer offers fans an emotionally powerful glimpse into the agony that Kratos endured in losing the only people he has loved. Kratos is a man torn apart by tragedy. As you watch the powerful warrior fall to his knees, it becomes clear just how badly his rage burns inside. The trailer offers fans a glimpse into what they will be able to expect from Ascension, as the team has decided to explore Kratos on an emotional level as he deals with the loss of everything he loves. His newest adventure takes players through a campaign that addresses the emotions of pain and loss, which is completely untouched territory for the series.
Check out the trailer below and prepare to step back into Kratos’ bloody reality.
