PlayStation Plus members' chance to ascend online to start destroying each other in God of War: Ascension's Multiplayer Beta is officially coming to PlayStation Plus on January 8th.
Not only did the fine folks at Sony Santa Monica Studio spill the beans on the multipalyer beta date, they've also released a new God of War: Ascension trailer entitled "Evil Ways." Kratos is back to his brutal ways in this new trailer, so it's not for the faint of heart!
If you participated in the Rise of the Warrior experience, and belonged to the winning Spartan team for our first team challenge, your early Beta access begins today! If you were a Trojan, though you were defeated in the first team challenge, the Gods have shown mercy and are granting you early access starting December 16th. All codes can still be redeemed at
www.godofwar.com.
Game modes that will be included in the multiplayer beta are "Team Favor of the Gods" and "Favor of the Gods." In both modes, you'll fight to reach the requisite number of favor points from the Gods, earning points via kills, bonus brutal kills, opening chests, capturing domination points, and, if you’re skillful enough, performing executions using the Spear of Olympus.
God of War: Ascension multiplayer levels are broken out into two categories: larger maps, which feature big open environments (like the Desert of Lost Souls), and more compact arenas, which bring the action in tight to test your reflexes as you fight for survival in close-quarters combat. Fans of God of War III will remember the Hercules Arena, one of the Top 5 most epic moments in the God of War franchise, and we’re really excited to introduce our “Forum of Hercules” Multiplayer Arena level!
The multiplayer beta will also include a tutorial where you will be pitted against Zeus himself!
