The first thirty minutes of God of War: Ascension has surfaced, along with the entirety of its introduction and prelude. It tells the story of how the Furies hunted down and tortured those who betrayed the gods, and how they used the Hekatonkheires as an example to all who would do the same.
It then transitions to the story of Kratos, the defeated Spartan general who was tortured and captured "like a fly in the web of the Furies." This is where the game begins.
Waking up from a session of torture, dazed and disoriented, Kratos breaks his binds after a brief interaction with one of the Furies who says she was rudely interrupted by another. He overcomes her attempt to further torture him and acquires the Blades of Chaos, at which point he makes his escape while being taunted by the Fury and her insect minions in the otherworldly prison.
As he pursues her, he witnesses how one of her minions infects a human prisoner, transforming him into brute host. Kratos dispatches his foes after a fashion and continues his pursuit of the spider-like Fury, who resumes taunting him.
The action continues for another thirty minutes, so be sure to watch the whole thing if you'd like a small taste of God of War: Ascension.
