The fourth iteration of the God of War series on the PlayStation 3 has officially dropped to $40.
Sony announced the price slash of God of War: Ascension by $20 this week. It doesn't come as much of a surprise considering it's been seen around that price at places like Amazon since late April.
The game has also not been a great seller for the console, prompting in discounts. Last month, the retail price for the PS3 GOW: Ascension Legacy Bundle dropped to $300. Included with the game is the GOW Collection that features all five other games (including two from PlayStation Portable), a 500 gigabyte hard drive, and a 30-day free trial of PlayStation Plus.
GOW: Ascension is officially the seventh installment of the entire GOW series. It serves as the prequel in the series and contains the story of Kratos being held captive of the three Furies once he abandons Ares. Ares previously tricked Kratos into killing his wife and child.
The exclusive third-person hack-and-slash received above average reviews; GameRankings averages 79.45 percent. Popular gaming sites are exactly in that range with a 7.8 at IGN an 8 at GameSpot out of 10.
For those still not wanting to drop the money for GOW: Ascension, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the game drop to $30 or less during the fall and holiday season.
