"God of War: Ascension has been officially announced by Sony. A trailer and the game&amp;#039;s cover art briefly appeared on shopping site Amazon, but was subsequently removed. Sony&amp;#039;s Santa Monica Studio has since confirmed the title, promising to reveal more details on April 30.  The debut video speaks of a time &amp;quot;before Kratos became known as the Ghost of Sparta&amp;quot;, suggesting that the game will serve as a prequel to the original trilogy. Describing it as the most ambitious game in the series so far, the Amazon product description read: &amp;quot;Join Kratos as he seeks freedom, redemption, and the clarity to avenge his family.&amp;quot; The game was widely expected to be announced today, following a recent Facebook teaser that was posted last week.  The teaser image read: &amp;quot;Will vengeance bring redemption?&amp;quot; The style of the image led to wide speculation that a God of War announcement was imminent. The game has been rumoured for some time now. It was seemingly confirmed by a composer in January, alongside reports of a brand new multiplayer mode. God of War Collection and God of War Collection: Volume II are currently available on PS3. Watch a trailer for God of War Collection below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
