New ViDoc Goes Behind the Scenes of God of War: Ascension's MultiplayerIt seems that so much focus is being placed on God of War: Ascension’s multiplayer mode that we’ve barely learned anything about the prequel story behind the solo campaign – which of course is probably the exact intention of the developers, Sony’s Santa Monica Studios.

Thankfully, it’s shaping up to look incredibly playable and just as brutal – if not moreso – than the main game. A new behind the scenes documentary series, entitled God of War: Ascension – Unchained, will take us on a journey through the inception and development of the game, starting with the multiplayer.

This 6 minute video features mini interviews with the design team, from senior producers through combat designers and level creators, beginning with the first team meeting back in 2010, and gives an in-depth insight into the making of Kratos’ latest blood-drenched odyssey.

It comes at a perfect time to, as the multiplayer beta goes live today and is open to PlayStation Plus subscribers right now via this website. Check out the video below for a closer look at God of War: Ascension.

God of War: Ascension will be available on PlayStation 3 in the UK on March 15.
