With the PlayStation 4 just being announced it can be easy to forget about current generation and the upcoming games, even huge blockbusters.

So here is my entire God of War: Ascension “preview” that I published a few weeks before the game’s release in all its original glory. While the servers are still active today, it’s harder to gauge that 2013 experience nearly a decade later. It really captures my excitement at the time, as well as the energy of the multiplayer mode during its beta. With episode 2 of this season leaning into the last PS3 God of War game, I thought it’d be fun to share this. Thankfully, I wrote it in Pages ( sorry Jason Snell) and still have the file, albeit without whatever images I scrapped together. I tried finding this preview I wrote back for my blog on MyIGN, but the whole backend is gone and I can’t find it on the Wayback Machine ( here is the link, if you’d like a crack at it).


Turns out, I was embarrassingly excited for God of War: Ascension in 2013. With Season 2 of Chapter Select tackling the God of War series, I have spent some time digging around my files and tweets regarding the Kratos and his slaughter of Olympus.
