Show of hands: How many people only know of King Leonidas from the movie 300? It’s okay, I won’t judge, its how I know of him too. How would you like to play as him in the multiplayer portion of God of War: Ascension; complete with cape, helmet and spear? Because you can, provided you pre-order from GameStop. The cape, helmet and armor of Leonidas doesn’t grant you any kind of stat bonuses, but his trusty spear does come with its own unique moves. Maybe the game will go into slow-mo if you throw it and manage to kill someone with it.
In addition to the Leonidas skin, a double sided poster for the game will also be given out. Measuring in at 22″x28″, you might want to plan out where you intend to put it instead of randomly picking out a spot on the wall.
God of War: Ascension releases on March 12, 2013.
