It looks like we finally know what the "
Spartans Stand Tall" teaser site was all about. Sony has just announced
God of War: Ghost of Sparta, a new PSP-exclusive game developed by
Ready At Dawn Studios, the same team responsible for
Chains of Olympus. "Excitement for the
God of War franchise is at an all-time high and we're thrilled to continue that momentum with
God of War: Ghost of Sparta," Scott A. Steinberg, vice president, product marketing, SCEA, said in a press release. "This new
adventure will showcase Kratos on PSP like never before in an experience that fans and newcomers can enjoy on the go, anytime, anywhere."
Ghost of Sparta features Kratos once again, this time in an adventure that takes place after the first
God of War on PS2 and delves into Kratos' rise to power. According to Sony, Ready At Dawn will utilize "state-of-the-art visual technologies" that will allow "higher quality environments and characters." In addition,
Ghost of Sparta will offer "over 25% more gameplay" than its PSP predecessor, while adding more enemies on screen, and a greater number of boss encounters.
God of War: Ghost of Sparta is planned for release "later this year." We expect a lot more to be revealed at E3.
