God of War for PSP

By Robert Purchese Published 5 March, 2007

Later this year.

God of War is heading to the PSP later this year, it has emerged.

Although Sony has not officially announced the existence of the game, a teaser advert for the game appears in the U.S. instruction manual of God of War II with the words "coming 2007" underneath.

Development of the PSP version appears to have been handed to Ready At Dawn - the studio's logo also features at the foot of the advert. Ready At Dawn previously cut its teeth producing the acclaimed PSP-exclusive, Daxter.

Sony was unavailable for comment this morning, but 'official' official confirmation is expected at GDC during Phil Harrison's keynote speech on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Sony has God of War II lined-up for release in Europe on PlayStation 2 on 30th March, and March 13th in North America. You can catch up with our impressions of the game elsewhere on the site. Check back soon for a full review.

    God Of War II review?

    I mean if you've got the instruction booklet why not?

    However, creator David Jaffe has previously admitted he is working on "secret PSP project", though, of course, this could be another game entirely.

    This was the project "HL", which was scrapped, because according to Jaffe himself, it sucked.

    a teaser advert for the game appears in the instruction manual of God of War II with the words "coming 2007" underneath.

    The teaser advert also shows the Ready At Dawn logo, which was rather expected.
    PSP owners all over the globe have already been hyped over this game ever since Ready At Dawn showed a "Coming Soon" message for an "unannounced PSP title" using the God Of War font in their website. As soon as the rumours got fired up, the font got replaced by the less telling Daxter font - Subtle, lovely, viral marketing at it's best. :)

    The final confirmation will be given on Wednesday, one would think.

    So the official EU release is the 30th of March?

  • spongebob #4 5 years ago

    I hope that Sony is going to make some game announcements on Wednesday. However, it's more likely the announcements will concern developers (it is GDC, not E3) and therefore include information on PS3 network and maybe the rumble issue.

  • SeesThroughAll #5 5 years ago

    @ spongebob: Aye, the rumble thing is definitely something developers will be interested in.

  • aabyssx #6 5 years ago

    A God of War game on the PSP sounds interesting (if it's not a remake).

  • DeCoR #7 5 years ago

    Cool just read the article again well done SCEA for getting it in to Europe that fast after America.

  • drumbaby #8 5 years ago

    Let's hope it's a totally different storyline with all new levels.

    Play and Gameplay have PAL down for April 13...

    30th March for GoW2?

    Damn, there's no way I'm going to finish both FFXII and Okami by then... Mind you, I'll probably buy it regardless!

    GoW2 30th March? Are you sure? I thought it wasn't out until June?

    "God Of War II review?

    I mean if you've got the instruction booklet why not?     "

    Instructions for the US version that is. I'd rather they review the actual game I'd be playing, namely the UK version.

    Please EG, don't do again what you did with FF12: "FF12 is now out, here's a link to the 4 month old review we did of the Yank version". Lazy and shit journalism.

    "Cool just read the article again well done SCEA for getting it in to Europe that fast after America. "

    Don't applaud them for it, there's absolutely no reason why it can't be in the same week. A lot of developers releasing games on the 360 manage it. Managing to release it in the same month is a bit better, but still shit.

  • DeCoR #13 5 years ago

    Well I agree but 2 weeks compared to other games isnt bad I believe the 1st took 4 or 5 months to make it to Europe. Like take Final Fantasy XII we got it a year after Japan a YEAR!. I doubt that date of 30th of March though for GoW2.

    It's not like they're going change the game exponentially between America and Europe release not even the add-ons, it's still fundamentally the same game.

    But it IS more appreciated if they do, do that.
