God of War: Ascension “Ares” Multiplayer Trailer

God of War: Ascension "Ares" Multiplayer TrailerThere’s been a lot of noise made about God of War: Ascension’s all-new multiplayer mode – and rightly so. It looks incredible, one mode pitting a handful of crazy muscle-bound warriors against one another for the right to kill whichever titanic monstrosity (such as a colossal Cyclops named Polyphemus) is currently chained up and awaiting a messy end. This right is earned by accumulating “Favor” from kills and objectives completed, and holding off the other team long enough to execute the beast.

As well as character progression, your method of violent murder depends on which deity you align yourself with to begin with. There are four to choose from: Zeus, Father of the Gods, Poseidon the God of the Sea, Ares the God of War and Hades, Lord of the underworld. Each will bestow their followers with different gifts such as combat abilities, armour and weapons and so it’s important to choose wisely.

This new trailer gives us a brief insight into what you’ll be in for should you align yourself with Ares, son of Zeus, God of War, and the main catalyst for deicidal series protagonist Kratos kicking off in the first place. Unexpectedly, Ares favours massive amounts of damage and strong offensive attacks, as well as buffs to increase brute strength and attack speed.

God of War: Ascension is due for release in 2013 exclusively on PlayStation 3.
