This is not the first special promotion for God of War: Ascension related to a film. Earlier this month, Sony announced that those who pick up the Total Recall Blu-ray, which launches December 18, will receive a single-player demo for the game.
God of War: Ascension is a prequel to the original trilogy that will tell Kratos' origin story. It is due out March 12, 2013 exclusively for PlayStation 3, and includes a series-first multiplayer mode. For more on God of War: Ascension, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.
