Now whether that’s true or just an excuse made after the publisher demanded a multiplayer mode we’ll never know, but it’s clear that at the very least the team wanted to experiment with the God of War formula, which is an admirable goal. It seems like Papy wanted to avoid the franchise fatigue that had undoubtedly set in at this point and figured multiplayer was the perfect way to do just that.
The majority of the game’s promotion was centered around and focused on the multiplayer aspect. And it was a major aspect of development. The biggest question on everyone’s minds was why they added multiplayer to the game. For what was now the seventh game in a row, God of War Ascension had yet another new director, Todd Papy. So now’s the time to finally wrap up my analysis of Kratos’s first life by taking an in-depth look at God of War: Ascension.Īscension was announced on April 19, 2012, with a live developer interview streaming later on in May. I even repurchased an online pass to give the multiplayer another shot, though the majority of this video will focus on the single player content.

I’ll be playing the game on the PS3 much like the other titles, meaning that if there are any issues they’re solely due to the game and not lag occurring over PlayStation Now.

I played the multiplayer for a bit as well, but never really got into it as much as with other games at the time, plus my online pass somehow got deleted over time. Keep in mind that this was after marathoning all six main titles, so it very easily could have been franchise fatigue. I remember thinking it was… fine, but didn’t really distinguish itself from the other games. Prior to playing, this was the game I remembered the least about, despite playing it most recently. Not only that, but it’s also the only game in the series to feature multiplayer, with the developers adding in a slew of new modes to be played with others online. A prequel set before the events of any other in the series, the story shows how the future god came to break his vow to Ares and come into the service of the other Olympians. As the final game in the God of War series before its soft reboot into Norse mythology, Ascension is also the only game I have yet to cover.
