Tons of new Chains of Olympus info

Ready at Dawn held a player chat this week to answer questions from fans about their upcoming games. The staff was overwhelmed with God of War: Chains of Olympus related questions. PSP FTW!

First of all, the game is still set to be released during the 2007 holiday season. No delays… yet.

Chains of Olympus takes place ten years before the first game. In this blast to the past, we will follow Kratos as he meets many characters from the PS2 series for the first time. The plot goes something like this: Kratos family is murdered, he renounces his service to Ares, and decides to instead serve the other gods of Olympus.

You will have some new weapon to choose from as well, with a “new twist on how they integrate into the storyline.” Fighting will be very similar to GoW II with counter attacks. Magic must be used against you before you can use it yourself.

More tidbits…
- The game has been in development since Daxter shipped.
- The game will dedicate some time to exploring Kratos’ human side
- There will be multiple difficulty settings
- The game will run at 30 frames per second
- Players will need to earn all their cheats.

Finally, Ready at Dawn had this to say: “You will play and experience an event that will change the course of the GoW mythology, that will take you far beyond where Kratos has ever gone before.” What could this mean?
