God of War 2 announced

PS2 News | Kratos set to return in second PS2 adventure.

According to US games rag Game Informer, Sony's Santa Monica studio is hard at work on a PlayStation 2 sequel to last year's brilliant God of War. God of War 2 is scheduled for an early-2007 release in the US (a PAL version will no doubt appear shortly after), and is to see the return of Kratos, the scary pale chap who was the hero of the first game. In the next title, we're promised there'll be more scrapping with figures from Greek mythology, and also the chance to ride Pegasus and claim Icarus' wings, amongst many other things we'd imagine.

The announcement of the game is hardly a surprise, however. Earlier this month, Eurogamer broke the news that God of War 2 was on the cards, only for Sony to threaten the site with legal action unless the story was removed. Now it's been officially announced though, we're free to discuss the game to our hearts content, and all without fear of Sony's men in black knocking on our door.

Anyway, click on the Media Panel for a look at some of the Game Informer scans that are circulating the web, and stay tuned for more news.

Haven't seen any hi-res versions of those I'm afraid Cap. They're the best I could locate.

There you go, a reason to hold onto that PS2. At least there are still games being developed and released for it.

Meh, God of War was fun for the first half of the game, but got a bit tiring towards the end. The ending fight was a bit of a let down compared with the rest of the game.

Inteeereeeeesting. More angry ultra blood slashing, which is good. Hopefully the combat system will be deeper than the first, because IMO it wasn't deep enough. And yes, agreed with Chris, bring on more boss battles.

i loved god of war - its in my top 3 PS2 games, but 2007 is a bit late.

i'll be deep into the xbox360 games by then and i would just lose interest playing a ps2 game.
