The final chapter in Kratos’ trilogy has finally arrived. God of War III is now available for purchase across North America exclusively on PlayStation 3. The third chapter boasts stunning graphics, groundbreaking depths of scale, and the franchise’s signature gameplay this time better than ever.

“Since its announcement last spring and our demonstration shown at E3 2009, God of War III has remained one of the most eagerly anticipated titles in recent memory,” said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President, Product Marketing, SCEA. “With this unique experience, our development team has truly set a new bar for the video game industry, leveraging the power of the PS3 to create a technical masterpiece that couples jaw-dropping visuals with a gripping story sure to amaze fans and newcomers alike.”

God of War III picks up exactly where the second game left off. I won’t say where, for those who may still be working on their God of War Collection, but an epic game was foreshadowed. Today it arrives.
