Chains developer Ready At Dawn Studios is handling the heavy lifting, with a hand from Sony Santa Monica, and Sony promises the pair is putting together a very special Kratos adventure.
"I can also tell you from first-hand experience that we are pushing the limits of what PSP can do with state-of-the-art visual technologies, higher resolution environments, and greater depths of scale," SCEA's PR Manager Eric Levine said in the PlayStation Blog post announcing the title. "We're also providing over 25% more gameplay, an improved weapon system, and new magical powers — all enjoyed anytime, anywhere."
Ghost of Sparta serves as a prequel to the original God of War game, telling the story of Kratos' carnage-filled journey to becoming the GoW. From Sony:
In his quest to rid the nightmares that haunt him, Kratos must face his dark past to prove his worthiness to the Gods -- a journey that will reveal the origins of lost worlds and finally answer long-awaited questions about Kratos' tattoo, scar, and family.No release date was provided, but Levine said details are forthcoming.
Sharkey says: Nice. Though, the storyline sounds terrific, and I almost wish they'd saved it for a PS3 game. Regardless, it will be fun to journey into Kratos' past. And now I can stop checking in on the SpartansStandTall teaser site every day.
