Now that Modern Warfare 2 has been released, we’ve got a little more time to start speculating on future blockbuster titles. Today, Nick McCandless of The Gamer Access is reporting that God of War III will feature cooperative gameplay elements. The story is tagged as “official” but the validity of the information is certainly contentious.
McCandless claims that after completing the demo, he logged into a Sony site that educates retail employees about future titles. According to the article, a questionnaire for God of War III contained the question: “Will God of War III have online cooperative modes?” with a corresponding “Yes” answer. A screen-grab is included in the article, though its authenticity is certainly questionable.
Back in October, Stig Asmussen, director of God of War III at SCE Studios Santa Monica, spoke with GamePro and denied that God of War III would have multiplayer: “With God of War III, there’s a story we want to tell and an experience we want to deliver, and multiplayer doesn’t fit into that.” Though, he focused his comments more on the single player campaign, “Imagine two Kratos characters running around at the same time. Once you do that, the story becomes something more about an experience between two players and less about something that we’re scripting.”
