I just got an email from Sony with some nice new info on God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP. Ru Weerasuriya, the game’s director, shred some light on Eos, the Goddess of Dawn. Eos is one of the first helpful characters in the game, and the Cave of Eos is the level that players will get to battle their way into to get her help to progress in the game.

God of War is a mix of cool elements that together make up an amazing franchise. From the story elements to the visceral combat, from the challenge to the epic visuals, it immerses the player into a world they want to keep coming back to. We keep this all in mind when creating any God of War level, such as the Cave of Eos in God of War: Chains of Olympus. In this level, the player is introduced to Eos, the Goddess of Dawn. She will reveal events of the story that will lead you further in your quest, but getting to her is no easy task. You will have to defeat a multitude of enemies to progress, one of which is a new take on a God of War classic, the blood-lusting Minotaur. The rewards awaiting you are a new magic granted by Eos that adds to the vast array of mechanics Kratos already possesses. But to advance to the end of the level, Kratos will have to prove himself by using his new abilities to solve a challenge so deadly it could have only been created by the Gods of Olympus.

Between this and the new Syphon Filter title, the PSP’s game library is really coming together for the next six months.
