No sleep for Olympus, God of War: Ghost of Sparta descends on PSP

Can’t get enough of that blasphemer Kratos and his incessant urge for God killing? Well neither can we. Luckily God of War 3 won’t be the only Kratos-based title to appear for a Sony PlayStation system in 2010. The heavens are shaking in their proverbial boots today as Ready at Dawn and Sony Computer Entertainment announced God of War: Ghost of Sparta, an adventure set to take place shortly after the original God of War. The game is expected to highlight Kratos’ rise to the God of War status and focus on his attempt to rid himself of the ghosts of his past (spoiler alert: herpes).

The PlayStation Portable title is expected to provide 25 percent more content than the previous Ready at Dawn PSP GoW title: God of War: Chains of Olympus. Good news if you’re craving some pint sized smashing.

According to SCEA’s Eric Levine, the game will “finally answer long-awaited questions about Kratos’ tattoo, scar, and family,” as reported by Kotaku earlier this morning. E3 can’t get here sooner as the game will likely be on display, or potentially demoed. Rock on, War Gods!
