Kratos' beginning

God of War: Chains of Olympus unleashes the Spartan warrior onto PSP.

Ready At Dawn Studios, the development team behind Daxter on PSP, has joined up with Santa Monica Studios, the creators of God of War, to develop God of War: Chains of Olympus.

Chains of Olympus has been developed as an original storyline, supported by detailed graphics and incredible animated detail on the PSP system, which keeps faith with the epic gameplay of its PlayStation 2 brethren.

Set before the events of the first God of War, Kratos will journey to lands no mortal has ever walked upon, as the world is plunged into eternal darkness and the Gods themselves are rendered powerless. From the Gates of Hades to the Depths of Tartarus, ultimately the choice between redemption and saving the ancient world will fall upon the Spartan's shoulders.

Brought to you by the award-winning Ready At Dawn Studios in conjunction with Santa Monica Studios, Chains of Olympus will feature new moves and myth-inspired creatures, as well as the combat, exploration and puzzle solving that this critically acclaimed franchise is renowned for.
