Overview
Description

Ascend: Hand of Kul puts you in the role of a fierce Caos warrior fighting for the favor of a deity in a sprawling fantasy world. Battle the spawn of the Titan, invade other players' realms, and make the ultimate sacrifice of your character for the greatest rewards. The game blends open‑world exploration with deep RPG progression, offering both single‑player story missions and competitive multiplayer invasions across PC and Xbox 360.

Set before the original God of War, Ascension follows a newly‑cursed Kratos as he fights the Furies and seeks freedom from his oath to Ares. The game expands the series with a dark mythological storyline and introduces a fresh multiplayer experience.
