It’s starting to look like the big PS3 reveal that’s coming up will be for a brand new God of War title. Amazon looks to already have a listing for the game, and a new debut trailer seems to have leaked on to the net. The game? It’s being called God of War: Ascension, and it looks bloody terrific.
The product page on Amazon comes complete with box art and the trailer, which you can see below. There isn’t a single “IV” to be seen anywhere, though this would be the fourth console title to drop. Watching the trailer, Ascension looks to be a prequel to the already set trilogy, which spins the series a bit.
As a description of the game, the listing reads:
Join Kratos as he seeks freedom, redemption, and the clarity to avenge his family in the most ambitious God of War adventure in the series so far.
We also see a release date of December 31, 2013 on the listing, which we can’t actually confirm. With the trailer showing Kratos fighting battles against the demons that tear at his soul, this looks to be much darker God of War title than those previous. It just may be the one title fans have been looking to see. Check out the trailer below and see for yourselves.
