God of War III is a forthcoming installment in the God of War video game franchise. It was formally announced at E3 2008, and is expected to be released in 2009 according to the Amazon website exclusively for the PlayStation 3. It is the fifth chapter in the series chronologically, after God of War: Chains of Olympus, God of War, God of War: Betrayal and God of War II. The tagline for the game is "In the end, there will be only chaos"
Although little is known about the game at this point, it was confirmed to be in development by Cory Barlog at a God of War II launch event. He revealed that the game would run at full 1080p HD resolution, and the game would support Sixaxis tilt and vibration functions. This was stated before the DualShock 3 controller was announced; therefore causing confusion as the Sixaxis controller did not support rumble. Barlog also expressed an interest in adding a cooperative mode "if we can do something unique with it".
God of War director David Jaffe has said that, "God of War explains, or ultimately will explain, why there are no more Greek myths." He has also stated that it will be "hell on earth" as the gods and the titans battle each other for domination. Though Jaffe and Barlog left Sony for other opportunities, they are still credited for the series and will possibly be involved in this installment. Eat Sleep Play, co-founded by Jaffe, has expressed interest to be involved in development for God of War III.
An advertisement for God of War III has appeared on the back of instruction manuals of the retail version of God of War: Chains of Olympus, stating below that the game is 'coming soon'. The script is approximately 120 pages long for the game. The game is expected for release in 2009.
On July 15, 2008, a teaser was shown at SCE's E3 press conference. It involves a monologue by Zeus regarding the rise to power of the Olympians and how their rule is now threatened. As Zeus urges his fellow gods to war, the scene cuts from the burning countryside around Mount Olympus to a ruined temple, upon which a shadowed Kratos stands. Zeus concludes his speech, saying "In the end, he will suffer! In the end, we will triumph! In the end..." at which point, Kratos cuts in with the game's tagline "There will be only Chaos!".
On December 14th, 2008, the first trailer of gameplay for God of War III premiered at the Spike Video Game Awards.
The new trailer opens with Kratos saying "My vengeance is everything." Then the trailer proceeds with scenes of Kratos attacking groups of undead, bats, a cyclops, and what appears to be a centaur. The trailer shows Kratos wielding two massive, fiery gauntlet weapons. Kratos' final words are "Everything must come to an end."
It has also been announced that legendary greek hero Hercules will be a playable character in the game.
