God of War Chains of Olympus goes Gold, debuts March 4

PSP | by Dan Nicolae Alexa | 14th February 2008 | God of War: Chains of Olympus |

God of War Chains of Olympus goes Gold, debuts March 4Did you miss those nasty fire-blades tied to Kratos' hands lately? Good news for y'all: the champion of the Greek Gods is back, with more brutal finishing-moves and... a lot smaller.

At the end of God of War 1 for PlayStation 2 there was the famous battle between Ares and Kratos, when the latter suddenly inflates and reaches God-like proportions. You won't see the same augmentation happening in Chains of Olympus, since we're talking about the Kratos before the events in GoW 1 and because...well...the PSP has a smaller screen;).

Eric Koch, Senior Producer on God of War Chains of Olympus, recently announced that the highly-anticipated prequel has gone gold and that Kratos' fans will be able to maneuver his chained fire-blades again on March 4.

Asad Qizilbash, who works for the marketing department and is in charge of making GoW CoO more appealing to gamers (as if we're not already drooling...), has also offered a sneak-peek  at the advertising campaign readied for the PSP title. Besides a couple new images depicting Kratos', we now know that there is another site available on the Web, at www.darknessreveals.com, which indicates the name of the advertising campaign and also reveals something about the plot. Right now, clicking on the link will lead you to the PlayStation official page of GoW Chains of Olympus, but once the advertising machine starts its engines, we'll probably have different content there.

It appears that "in the beginning there was darkness" and that "long before his battle with Ares, Kratos was a servant to the Gods. Ordered deep into the underworld, the Ghost of Sparta is faced with an impossible choice: redeem himself or save the ancient world from eternal darkness". Booo...

The box-art for the special edition of the game can be found here.
