SIE Santa Monica Studio have sponsored this cool video in which actor David Harbour plays one of the first chapters in the upcoming
God of War. Also in attendance are Creative Director Cory Barlog and Gamespot Editor Lucy James.
Located in an interesting dungeon location, the mood is cheerful as Cory provides some helpful commentary on backstory, special moves and plenty of other intriguing features. In the footage shown, David reveals himself to be pretty adept at the game's combat system. The highlight of the piece is watching him take down a ferocious-looking troll.

Many years have passed since Kratos took his vengeance against the Olympian gods. Having survived his final encounter with his father Zeus, Kratos now lives with his young son Atreus in the world of the Norse gods, a savage land inhabited by many ferocious monsters and warriors. In order to teach his son how to survive in such a world, Kratos must master the rage that has driven him for many years and embrace his newfound role as a father and mentor. Kratos must also contend with the Norse gods themselves as they are taking precautions against him, due to them being aware of his role in the destruction of Olympus. Over the course of their time together, Atreus learns more about his father's complicated and shady past, while struggling with whether to be like his father or choose to be his own person.
God of War will be released next week, on April 20th, exclusively for the PlayStation 4.
