To say that Sony Santa Monica had been pushing the multiplayer component of God of War: Ascension pretty hard would be something of an understatement. It was clear that the developer would eventually begin to steer the promotional focus over to Ascension's single-player mode but no one could say for sure when that time would come.

Spoiler alert, that time is now. Sony Santa Monica has finally released a teaser trailer focused on Kratos's latest adventure, which if you weren't aware is a prequel to the original God of War.

Even from this small amount of footage, it's clear that Sony Santa Monica hasn't been neglecting Kratos, even if Ascension's multiplayer is all that the developer has been talking about for the last six months.
