God of War: Ascension given new screenshots

Sony has released 11 new God of War: Ascension screenshots, showing off some stunning in-game visuals.

The shots feature Kratos in several tricky positions, including being chained up on a podium and coming face-to-face with a beast that seems to be a cross between a scorpion and a lion.

Take a look at them below.

God of War: Ascension is set to be one of the biggest releases of the year, and a demo is arriving later this month.
