Kratos May Get Co-Op Backup in God of War III [Update]
For God of War fans, God of War III represents the penultimate experience of the series. On Tuesday we will all get a chance to re-experience God of War I and II with the Collection in glorious 720p. On the eve of this release some more information has surface that lends some credence to the never ending parade of Co-Op Rumors.
The Gamer Access website recently did some investigating on Sony’s Retail Loyalty website. This site is designed with keeping Sony’s retail channels up to date and informed about Sony products. Within the sites information about God of War III appears to reveal a Co-Op function for the much sought after title.
PlayStation LifeStyle will be looking into this as well and keep you abreast of any updates. In the mean time do you think Co-Op will work in a God of War game?
Update:
We have received confirmation via our own channels. The images are below.
Some internet speculation indicates Hercules is a prime canidate for the Co-Op partner. While not predominantly featured in the God of War saga, a Hercules playable character (skin) is available in God of War II when you defeat Titan Mode.

well this would be epic. I don’t think that the co-op will be with single player because I think that would ruin the single player experience. But I wouldnt mind some side missions with co-op that would be sweet.
not if there is another bedroom scene! lol
although I might be in the minority on this one…
Holy Shit. Just when I thought GOW III couldn;t get any better. Co-op FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peace,

AWESOME!
I don’t know. It’s always been about Kratos alone. Who would be the second character(s)? There’s really no one in the GoW universe who they can bring in as a buddy to Kratos because he’s killed everyone! And they certainly couldn’t be more powerful than Kratos as in playing as a god of Olympus. Secondly that would totally be uncharacteristic of the character himself. Kratos is a lone wolf; a badass. He doesn’t need a tag along at his heels.
Maybe the co-op will be implemented as it was in Uncharted 2. That’s a great example of how to implement co-op into a single player game without affecting the story at all.
not too sure what to think of this. On one hand, I am excited to see what they can do with online co-op. On the other hand, God of War has always been about the single player. I guess we will have to wait and see
how can someone not like an added feature? Anyways this is cool news
I work retail and am part of the RLS, the quiz does verify this as correct, i guess we will see for sure closer to the games release.
So DLC in the future?
if they’re going to include online co-op they better include offline co-op as well…I will be extremely disappointed if it is online only
But I read somewhere, and on wikipedia itself, that they’ll only implement co-op if they can think of something unique with it, much like the sixaxis function. And last I read, they completely scrapped both ideas as it wouldn’t work out right. I don’t know, I’m iffy on God of War co-op, I hope it’s not a mandatory thing for story mode. It just wouldn’t feel right.
his brother could be a co op character .. i was under the impression he died? he would be his equal .. (kinda)
If you guys didn’t know there are challenge maps most likely similar to batman arkham. According to the rls there are 5 challenge maps included in the pandora’s box collectors edition, so its likely that dlc will be present in gow3 and likely there will be co op in this mode. Maybe god of war death match, I call dibbs on zeus or the titans next!
Sorry about the blurry pics I had to take them with my camera phone. As you can see I answered that kratos was a farmer before he served the gods (obviously wrong), I must have been thinking of russel crowe from gladiator or somethin.

on the fence for the same reasons everyone else has mentioned.
It will probably by dlc maps and the likes, I would be seriously surprised if they announced story coop parts, it just wouldn’t make sense- but i can see extras, like the GTA4 co-op missions (not that style, just more than one person acting on in tangent to complete a mutual goal)
