Sony’s Santa Monica Studio has released a new patch for recently released God of War: Ascension. The patch updated the game to version v1.03 and brings with new new multiplayer options, while making some of the game’s hardest stages a little easier to overcome. Patch v1.03 has altered “The Trial of Archimedes” (Chapter 28) by adding green and blue chests at the end of each elevator stage after registering fan feedback.
God of War: Ascension has sparked an outrage over one particular trophy for promoting misogyny. In a scene in the game, Kratos beats a woman to a bloody pulp, and the player is rewarded with a trophy called “Bros Before Hos”. But the trophy has landed the developers in hot water, and will be patched to something less sexist.
God of War: Ascension is out across PAL regions today and the rest of Europe from tomorrow. To celebrate, Santa Monica Studio have released a new multiplayer trailer, revealing the fourth and final God with whom you may ally yourself: Hades. Hades executioners have the highest versatility and variety of abilities.
The free demo of The Last of Us, included with copies of God of War: Ascension won’t be available until the end of May, Naughty Dog has confirmed via Twitter. This means the demo will be available just two weeks before the full game is released.
Sony has announced a nice little surprise for PlayStation Plus subscribers. To celebrate the launch of God of War: Ascension next month, Sony have added God of War 1 HD to the Instant Game Collection – but it will only be available for two weeks starting today.

The God of War: Ascension single-player demo will be releasing to all PlayStation Network users from today. The demo will be made available in North America as part of today’s PlayStation Store update, and will be releasing in Europe as part of tomorrow’s update. In addition, a new single-player trailer trailer for the game has also been released.
