《战神：弑神自封(God of War: Ascension)》首支预告片及封面首曝！奎爷再临！/ Kratos Returns in God of War: Ascension for PS3

关于《战神4》的传闻已经陆陆续续持续了数月之久，继上个星期PS的Facebook主页上公布了4月19日将出现《战神4》消息之后，这一传闻的热度又重归顶峰。

就在刚才，Amazon放出了《战神4》即《战神：弑神自封(God of War: Ascension)》的首支预告片及游戏封面。

虽然这部短短的预告片中并未出现任何真实游戏画面，但有趣的是，从旁白泰坦盖亚的讲述中，我们发现这部作品的剧情似乎是之前5部《战神》系列游戏的前传。盖亚提到，这是当年那个奎托斯尚未成为斯巴达之魂，也没有被无尽的怒火所吞噬的年代。

玩家们众所周知，我们曾经玩过的《战神》系列，都在讲述那段奎托斯和阿瑞斯的恩恩怨怨，以及中计亲手杀死自己的妻女的故事。

而从盖亚的描述看来《战神：弑神自封(God of War: Ascension)》将讲述奎托斯在那之前，领导斯巴达军队成为一代传奇的故事。

而Amazon将本作描述为：“体验奎托斯寻求自由、救赎，以及为家人报仇的史上最热血《战神》冒险。”

Kratos' next murder-filled adventure has been revealed via a listing on Amazon.com. God of War: Ascension is coming to the PlayStation 3, according to the online retailer, with a brief, gameplay-free video offering little more than a blood-soaked teaser that loosely details the follow up to 2010's God of War III.

From what we can gather from the 75 second teaser, God of War: Ascension will tell a tale of Kratos that takes place not after the events of God of War III, but before.

"There was a time before Kratos became the monster known as the Ghost of Sparta," says the teaser's narrator. "A time when something other than rage consumed him. A time when, in spite of the madness that plagued him, Kratos would break his blood oath to an unjust god. A time when he would no longer be bound in blood."

The Ascension teaser features some God of War staples, including a Gorgon, Cerberus and Kratos' chain blades, but little in the way of tangible gameplay details or precisely who is on the anti-hero's hit list this time.

Amazon.com also revealed the game's box art, which matches Sony's previous teaser for an April 19 reveal.

The product description on Amazon.com reads "Join Kratos as he seeks freedom, redemption, and the clarity to avenge his family in the most ambitious God of War adventure in the series so far." Amazon lists a December 31, 2013 release date for God of War: Ascension, which appears to be placeholder.

Expect more from Sony on God of War: Ascension in the coming weeks.
