Kratos Unleashes Fury With New Blades

02/22/2010 Written by Jonathan Leack

God of War‘s main character Kratos is considered by many to be one of the iconic figures of the PlayStation platform. However, it isn’t just his evil looks and powerful attacks that make him such a revered character. Kratos’ weapons are also considered by many to be some of the most dynamic and flush weapons in any modern Action title.

When watching the new “Chaos Will Rise” trailer for God of War 3, more was revealed than many realized at first. A few months ago, it was stated by Santa Monica Studios that Kratos would wield a new style of weapon which would replace the original Blades of Athena. Apparently, these swords are called Blades of Exile, and they were shown during a specific part of the trailer.

As seen above, the Blades of Exile have a similar design to the original God of War‘s Blades of Chaos and Blades of Athena. There will undoubtedly be new attacks in the upcoming God of War 3, and these new serrated Blades should give Kratos the power he needs to take down even the biggest of gods.

    I guess I just assumed they upgraded the appearance of the same old blades…either way I don’t care what they’re called as long as they tear people and gods apart

    Maybe that fire titan had something to do with it….heh-heh.

    maybe the new one has some element to it like fire.

    @ShockOps

    I’m sorry, hasn’t all the blades have fire when you strike them to the ground? Fire isn’t very new.

    Blades of Exile – great name for a band too.

  6. Also, if you notice, he isn’t wearing the winged boats… so it must be closer to the beginning of the game that you get these…

  7. while they always had a fire-like aura about them, they never actually lit enemies on fire (nor do I expect the new ones to). I just think they’re a new aesthetic design, and the new name gives a good excuse for Krato’s having different moves this time around.
