By the Gods

Before you begin playing God of War: Ascension’s multiplayer beta, you’ll be forced to face some fairly challenging decisions, like which Olympian you’ll align yourself with amidst the brutality of battle. Yeah, that choice is tougher than today's Countdown Conundrum, isn't it?

To ease your decision, this brand new trailer details the advantages of befriending Zeus, the overlord of the afterlife. In addition to unlocking a slew of lightning attacks that would make even Cole MacGrath turn an envious shade of green, you’ll also scoop unique armour types and more. Think of this as God of War: Ascension’s class system. The question is: which deity will you choose?
