Not content to just beat the crap out of the most legendary gods and monsters in Greek mythology, Kratos has decided to branch out and take the lunch money from the fighters of the Mortal Kombat universe as well. The former Spartan turned minion of Ares, turned God of War will be soon be fighting to take the title of defender of Earth as well. You can’t fault the guy for lack of ambition.

Appearing as a PS3 exclusive character, Kratos will bring the pain with a modified set of moves based on his powers and abilities from the God of War series. Check out some of his attacks in the trailer below, which sadly does not show what is certainly an awesomely brutal fatality. And no, the 360 version does not have an exclusive character of its own, unfortunately.
