One of the most requested features in the God of War franchise is an online multiplayer and finally, with the upcoming release of Ascension, Santa Monica is pleased to reveal today that there will indeed be a multiplayer portion of the game.
Here’s an excerpt of Santa Monica’s statement in regards to the multiplayer portion:
For the first time ever in a God of War game, players can compete in online or offline multiplayer battles that combine the fierce combat and scale of the franchise with a unique gameplay experience. Built off of the heart and soul of the single-player campaign, this brand new option can include up to eight players and offers a variety of different multiplayer modes, along with customizable avatar warriors with a range of weapons, armor, and more.
Also, new screenshots have been released where characters like Hercules and Zeus are seen fighting a huge titan. With E3 fast approaching, we should have a lot of information on the game soon.
