God of War: Ascension demo bundled with Total Recall Blu-ray

A single-player demo for God of War: Ascension will be bundled with the director's cut Blu-ray version of Total Recall, as well as the film's Blu-ray/DVD combination pack, Sony announced today. The film is due at retailers on December 18.

The demo included in the bundle is the same single-player experience that Sony showed off four months ago during the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo. It is not clear if the demo will later be released publicly.

The blood-soaked affair (below) shows Kratos laying waste to a horde of enemies in a seaside location. It caps off with Kratos lobotomizing an elephant-like enemy before a gargantuan sea creature emerges from the water.

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.
