Santa Monica Studios announced Trial of the Gods, the fourth multiplayer mode, along with the reveal of a new God allegiance, Poseidon.
Trial of the Gods is the first two-player, co-op mode where you and a friend work together to fight off waves of mythological enemies like Satyrs, Cerberuses, Cyclopes, Gorgons, Juggernauts and more. While defeating the enemies you will get more time in order to clear more waves. Trial of the Gods is also available for single-player.
The following maps will be available for Trail of the Gods: Desert of Lost Souls, Forum of Hercules and Rotunda of Olympus and more.
Level designer Andrew Chrysafidis announced on the PlayStation Blog: “With Trial of the Gods, we wanted to help bridge the single player and multiplayer experience, giving players a chance to work on their skill-set and gain valuable experience points with a friend, before jumping into the competitive arena. Playing Trial of the Gods is also a great way to grind some extra experience between competitive games, test newly acquired weapons and abilities, or even try a new allegiance.”
And here's how you can pledge your allegiance to Poseiden. When you pre-order God of War: Ascension you will receive King Leonidas from “300” as well as the Mythological
Heroes Pack with Perseus, Orion, Odysseus and Achilles. This is the trailer for the Trial of the God multiplayer mode.
