Sony has released a 2013 Super Bowl trailer for their upcoming game God of War: Ascension. Now, before everyone gets excited and thinks Sony made a last minute Super Bowl advertising buy that might also include some of their upcoming movies, we should point out that the God Of War: Ascension Super Bowl trailer won’t actually be airing on CBS television during the big game.No, instead God Of War: Ascension Super Bowl trailer will be shown during the online stream for the 2013 Super Bowl on CBSSports.com. By streaming the ad online, Sony is able to show a much longer trailer than the thirty seconds it likely would have been if it was airing on TV during the Super Bowl. Of course, you don’t have to wait until Sunday because Sony has already released the full two minute and nine second trailer online, which we’ve embedded below.According to Sony, “Produced by Imaginary Forces and set to a haunting arrangement of Ellie Goulding’s “Hanging On” (from her recent album Halcyon), the ad represents one of the most ambitious promotions in PlayStation history. Fitting, given that God of War: Ascension—the latest project from Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studio’s (SCE WWS) Santa Monica Studio—is an exploration into the beginnings of Kratos, one of gaming’s most iconic characters.”
