God of War: Ascension developer Sony Santa Monica has confirmed that it will launch one more update for the game's multiplayer, after which it will transition onto a new project.
The Santa Monica team is one of Sony's major internal studios and, as of yet, it hasn't confirmed if it's working on a game for the next-gen PlayStation 4.
Now, the studio is going to move on to a new project, as it confirmed that it will no longer focus on post-launch support for God of War: Ascension, the last entry in the hack and slash series that appeared for PS3 this spring.
The announcement was made by the studio's Community Strategist, Aaron Kaufman, on the PS blog.
"Since the release of God of War: Ascension last March, we have supporte d Multiplayer with a vast amount of DLC — from new weapons and maps, to our brutal 1v1 mode, a fan-driven cape contest, new marks, and more. Even the Gods could not have predicted the level of popularity and impassioned connection to our Multiplayer mode driven by the PlayStation Nation."
"As of today, we will not be producing any more DLC content (maps, weapons, armors, marks) for God of War: Ascension Multiplayer, as our primary team resources start to transition to other projects here at Sony Santa Monica."
Before the transition, the studio is preparing a few surprises for fans, including one last update for the multiplayer, as well as the digital download version of Ascension that launches later this month.
Check out the full list below.
Upcoming Balance Update – our Designers have plowed through mountains of gameplay feedback and are currently working on balance improvements that will tune-up all t he Allegiances. We are aiming for this balance update to release later this month. Rest assured, things like the Ares Olympus Armor -20 (PR) is being heavily diagnosed.
Dedicated Online Support – we will be monitoring online 24/7 and any new major balance exploits discovered in the weeks or months ahead, we will assess for fixing.
PSN Digital Release in October – This month, we’ll be releasing the digital download version of God of War: Ascension to the masses that have yet to experience the beginning of Kratos’ journey and our Ascension Multiplayer. The digital version will be released on October 15 for North America, with other regions to follow soon after.
The digital launch of God of War: Ascension will be accompanied by price cuts for all the DLC, a free soundtrack, and a double XP weekend between October 18 and 21 worldwide.
