Our latest 1.09 update is
available now, including the much anticipated
new 1v1 mode – Bout of Honor! You can view
the full change list at the official site .
Since the dawn of our multiplayer, warriors
have cried out to the Gods asking for
@SonySantaMonica to create a mode where
Champions can pit their skills against each
other without distraction. I am here to tell
you, combatants, the time has finally come!
In Bout of Honor, two warriors will put their
lives and reputations on the line to win the
best of seven rounds in this strictly 1v1
mode. Bout of Honor is a true contest of skill
with no chests, fountains, or world weapons
to aid you. This mode also disables relics and
allows for a Champion’s magic to regenerate
over time. Beware, my brothers in arms,
magic generates slowly over time so use it
sparingly. If you are careless you may end up
like the Prophet Castor, with your head
underneath another warrior’s boot.
Along with this brand new mode come four
new maps specifically crafted for Bout of
Honor:
• Canyons of Kirra - Chamber of the Flame -
Landing at Delos - Streets of Sparta
The developers at Sony Santa Monica have
been painstakingly crafting a mode for both
fans of fighting games and the legions of
Champions playing Ascension’s multiplayer to
enjoy. The team has made some balancing
tweaks especially for Bout of Honor to ensure
matches are fought in a fair and honorable
fashion. Infinites have been removed,
overpowered weapons tweaked, and damage
from 100% combos adjusted.
Lastly, warriors who are not quite ready to
rely solely on the strength of their blade but
still wish to acquire the Favor of the Gods will
enjoy a brand new 4-player map – The
Whirlpool of Alecto. A nod to one of the
greatest moments in God of War: Ascension’s
single player campaign, The Whirlpool of
Alecto features a giant leviathan whose sole
purpose is to unleash Alecto’s fury in the
form of physical pain onto any unsuspecting
warrior careless enough to venture into its
domain. The level also features elevated
terrain sections for knocking over, slamming,
and stunning your opponents.
The best part is that these features are all
free, right now! Praise be to the Gods for
hearing our cries! The team at Sony Santa
Monica would like to give a special thanks to
the thousands of Champions worldwide
supporting the team by playing God of War:
Ascension multiplayer.
