After teasing the teaser trailer for the upcoming God of War: Ascension live action commercial that will air during the Superbowl 2013 on February 3, Sony has now released the full ad that shows off Kratos and his wife and little girl.

God of War titles have focused on Kratos and his quest of vengeance against the gods that tricked him into killing his own wife and daughter.

In Ascension, however, we get to witness the immediate aftermath of those events, as Kratos must come to grips with what happened and begins plotting his vengeance.

In order to promote this single-player campaign, Sony has now revealed a special live action trailer called From Ashes, which depicts real-life versions of Kratos and of his wife and daughter.

A shortened version of the video will air as a commercial during the Superbowl on February 3.

The actual game will be released on March 12, in North America, and March 13, in Europe, only on the PS3.
