Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment America's Santa Monica Studios and David Jaffe, God of War introduced a groundbreaking, combat action-adventure videogame based on Greek mythology, and went on to capture more than a dozen Game of the Year Awards. God of War creator David Jaffe will oversee development of God of War II and promises a game experience that will eclipse the original in terms of quality, gameplay and story. In the first game Kratos, a mortal warrior, set upon an epic quest to dethrone a God. But his journey did not end there. In God of War II, Kratos sits atop his Olympus throne, as the new God of War – far more ruthless than Ares ever was. To end his continued torment, Kratos must journey to the far reaches of the earth and defeat untold horrors and alter that which no mortal, or god has ever changed, his fate. God of War II sets an epic stage for a devastating mythological war to end all wars.
