It’s April and that means everyone’s mind is on God of War. Well, there’s has been God of War new gameplay uploaded to the PlayStation account on YouTube, showing off new content such as trolls, exploration and a whole lot more! This is brand new gameplay that you won’t see anywhere else, showing off the Santa Monica Studios hard-work in developing unique enemies for players to fight. It runs on for five minutes, but it is five minutes that is full of glorious bloody action, as well as tidbits of information of the Norse mythology that runs deep in this new and improved God of War.
In the first few minutes, you’ll see Kratos come up against a troll. PS Underground explains that this is just one troll out of many, and they all have their own unique qualities. The troll Kratos fights in the video is a lot more aggressive and unwieldy, looking meaner and more brutal than the other enemies that Kratos has come up against.
A fun fact that was given out during the video is that the trolls have their own language, thus they could most definitely be saying quite some unsavory things about Kratos without you being none the wiser. Of course, these trolls also have an unfortunate backstory as they were betrayed by the Gods, so perhaps their attempts at killing you aren’t all that personal after all?
PS Underground also talked about the use of the camera in God of War and how seamless it is. Even in combat the camera is constantly by Kratos’ side, shaking slightly with each hit and moving with him. It compliments the environment as well, showing an interactive world that players will no doubt find themselves drawn to in their efforts to explore. PS Underground also commented on how the world feels more open, allowing you to take your time and explore the world around you in a way that previous God of War games wasn’t able to do.
The world is your oyster, and all you have to do is wait until April 20th to explore it fully. To check out the full video, please have a look below and let us know what you think.
