One of the biggest releases for the PS3 in 2013 will surely be God of War: Ascension.  Sony obviously realise this too hence why they stuck it on stage for a good long while with some bloke playing it and showing us why it will be one of their tentpole releases for the platform next year.

Focusing on what seems to be the single-player campaign; Kratos looked to be as deadly as he has ever been, deftly wielding his twin blades in violent fashion, but this time, he is able to manipulate time to stymie his enemies; freezing them in mid-air or slowing them down while he moves in for the big fat kill (sorry, I just had the unquenchable need to stick in a Sin City pun in there for some reason).

There is also a hugely cinematic boss fight at the end too; usual God of War fare then.

Have a glance at embedded video below for the on-stage demonstration of God of War: Ascension:

Regarding the above video; I’ll post a HD version as soon as it appears on the interubes.

God of War Ascension is due for release exclusively on the PS3 on March 12th, 2013.
