God of War: Ascension gets 1v1 mode

Sony has confirmed that God of War: Ascension has received a one versus one mode in a free update.

The mode is called Bout of Honour and features matches designed like a traditional fighting game.

There are also four new levels for Bout of Honour fights to take place: Canyons of Kirra, Chamber of the Flame, Landing at Delos and 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," said Sony.

"The team has made some balancing tweaks especially for Bout of Honour to ensure matches are fought in a fair and honorable fashion.

"Infinites have been removed, overpowered weapons tweaked and damage from 100& combos adjusted."

The update also adds a new map in the four player versus mode called The Whirlpool of Alecto.
