It’s been almost a year since Sony last released a video of God of War III for the world to see. Last night, a new video was released showing the high action of the game and snippets of several of the big moments in the game. Everything is pulled straight from the game – there is no trickery, etc. Everything is running in “real time.” There are no “cinematic” sequences here, meaning this is all gameplay.
SCEE has unveiled the God of War III Ultimate Trilogy Edition box set. The Ultimate Trilogy Edition can be pre-ordered in selected retailers across Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but in limited quantity. This very special edition comes in a high-end, sculpted replica of Pandora’s Box with an epic outer box which features an acetate window: you can actually see Pandora’s box before you even open it.
Qore Episode 21 is now available for download from the PlayStation Store, and lucky subscribers get to download the God of War III E3 demo from the download center. The February Episode also contains information on on the latest game in the Yakuza series, and a look at Battlefield: Bad Company 2‘s multiplayer component.
Sony Europe has revealed the launch date for the forthcoming highly-anticipated releases of both God of War III and the God of War III: Ultimate Trilogy Edition in Europe. While a March release has been on the cards for some time, Sony has confirmed that the latest iteration to the God of War series will be available from March 19th, 2010. In North America, the title will be available from March 16th 2010.
God of War III is one of the most anticipated exclusives this year on the Playstation 3 – come critics have gone as far as calling it the Game of the Year this early into 2010. Sony recently revealed several technical graphical details on GOW, stating it will run at 720p with 1080p up-scaling. Furthermore, Stig Asmussen, the director of the game, revealed in an interview with Arabic gaming site N4GA that his title will have a variable frame rate from 30 to 60 frames per second depending on the amount of action on screen.
Many gamers have been looking forward to the release of new screens for God of War III today. The press embargo is finally over and a host of new screens have been released to the public. From now until the game’s release in March 2010, you can expect more screens and information on this highly anticipated title.
For those that have been waiting for another reason to pre-order God of War III Ultimate Edition, this might just be your tipping point. Announced today through Roadrunner Records, the EP titled God of War: Blood & Metal, will be released in March as a part of the God of War III Ultimate Edition, and will feature five exclusive unreleased songs from Roadrunner artists, including KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, DREAM THEATER, TRIVIUM, OPETH and TAKING DAWN.
The God of War III Trilogy is coming to Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but in limited quantities. Pricing and exact release details to be confirmed in the next few weeks so stay tuned. This very special edition will come in a high-end, sculpted replica of Pandora’s Box and will include the God of War collection and God of War III, in addition to other other extras.
On Tuesday, SCEA and a number of their publishing partners (2K, Capcom, EA, SEGA, and Square-Enix) filled a SoHo art gallery with many of the best games you’ll be playing in early 2010.

Unfortunately, Sony won’t be making the video public until January. In the mean time, check out the update video below.
