List of God of War: Ascension downloadable content

edit

God of War: Ascension is an action-adventure video game loosely based on Greek mythology. It was developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment, and was released for the PlayStation 3 in March 2013. The game is the first in the God of War series to feature a multiplayer mode, for which downloadable content (DLC) is available—no single-player DLC is planned.[1] The game features a variety of downloadable content packs for its multiplayer mode. The first sets of DLC (with the exception of pre-launch promotional content) became available in May 2013 with more planned for release.[2]

The majority of the downloadable content of God of War: Ascension includes armors and weapons for players multiplayer warriors. The content listed as promotional content was only available through certain promotions, such as pre-order bonuses from select retailers. Later, most of this content was released on the PlayStation Store, but requires players to purchase the content, as previous customers received the content for free through promotions.

Although other multiplayer games offer DLC map packs for an additional price, Santa Monica has opted out of charging for maps, and instead, all maps released after the launch of the game are added for free with the download of software patch updates. Santa Monica's reasoning is so that there is never a situation where friends cannot play together.[3] The content listed as patch update content includes all maps that have been released.
