The new game, which will be dedicated to Kratos, is called Ascension. The first game in the God of War series was released in 2005. Kratos has become one of the most important figures for the PlayStation. The character was transformed and improved many times, but as a result they decided to stay on the "Greek" and "brutal" design.
God of War: Ascension tells how the still young Kratos, deceived, killed his wife and child and was sentenced to life in prison. Only the Furies kept him company in the titanic prison. Kratos was constantly looking for a way to throw off the shackles and gain clarity of mind for revenge on Ares.
The protagonist eventually breaks out of the dungeon and, with two swords, embarks on a devastating journey of retribution. On his way there are numerous puzzles and riddles, mythical creatures and dark forces.
