A brand new developer diary has just been released about God of War: Ascension, this time with the team at Sony Santa Monica talking about the creation of the multiplayer mode in the upcoming hack and slash game.

God of War: Ascension is going to be released in March and, besides offering a new single-player experience that once again focuses on the franchise's protagonist, Kratos, it's also going to feature a multiplayer experience.

This new mode has offered the developers at Sony Santa Monica a new challenge, which they've just detailed in a brand new video called A New Beginning.

In the footage above, you can admire the early stages of the multiplayer mode, including behind-the-scene looks at the creation process.

PlayStation Plus subscribers can already try out the God of War: Ascension multiplayer beta stage, as it's just been released on the PS Store in North America.
