God of War: Ascension trailer harnesses the power of Zeus

Zero to hero in no time flat

Zeus? How in the — oh, right. This God of War: Ascension trailer is centered around the game’s multiplayer. That’s a bit more comforting.

As you may or may not know already, players can align themselves with specific gods to gain benefits in competition, which is both fitting for the mythological theme and should help to differentiate would-be heroes from one another online.

According to the PlayStation Blog, Zeus will be the first option for the upcoming Ascension multiplayer beta due out this winter for PlayStation Plus subscribers. I hope you like lightning … and don’t mind being shocked too much. Feel free to curse Zeus’ name when things go sour.
