God of War: Chains of Olympus is an upcoming release in the God of War video game series, designed specificially for the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld gaming system. It is expected to be released sometime in 2007, and will be the second project developed for the PSP by Ready at Dawn, the same team responsible for Daxter, another handheld spin-off of a console series. [1] A Demo Disc was released only for PlayStation Underground members as found on the God of War: Chains of Olympus homepage.

Storyline

At a God of War II launch event on March 13, 2007, God of War II director Cory Barlog indicated that the PSP God of War game would be a spin-off, side story, or gaiden of the main God of War video game series: "It is its own story that connects to the overall story. God of War, God of War II, and then if all the stars align God of War III will be the telling of a trilogy. This PSP story will be a further fleshing out."

The Island of Rhodes website revealed that God of War: Chains of Olympus is a prequel to the God of War series. It chronicles the various adventures of Kratos throughout the ten years he spent in servitude of the Gods (hence the game's name which implies a bond between the series' protagonist and the deities of Olympus) preceding the events of God of War.

The official website included that in God of War: Chains of Olympus, Kratos will journey to lands that no mortal has ever walked upon. With the world plunged in eternal darkness and the Gods rendered powerless, Kratos will face the most feared creatures of Greek Mythology, and ultimately be forced to choose between his own personal redemption and saving the ancient world from certain destruction.

Locations

The official website has stated that Kratos will journey from the Gates of Hades to the depths of Tartarus. Many new locations will soon be released over time.

Trailer

The trailer, which has been accessed through navigating islandofrhodes.org, can be viewed on Gametrailers.com[1] , and at Gamevideos.com[2] , for those that do not want to go through all the puzzles featured on islandofrhodes.org. The teaser trailer depicts Kratos in a couple of areas before a couple of fight scenes, showing a fleet of ships in the background. The Titan Gaia again commentates, hinting that the game takes place before the original God of War, showing that Chains of Olympus will be a prequel. At the end Kratos is knocked into a pit by a large reptilian creature and stabs it in the head as they fall as another creature plummets towards Kratos. New videos from the UMD preview depics Kratos facing off against a number of soldiers and a giant Cyclops monster. The Cyclops monster is then eaten by a very large Reptilian foe. Kratos battles the head of the great beast as one of the first boss battles.
