Sony has revealed the multiplayer beta period for Sony Santa Monica's God of War: Ascension will be running from January 9th, 2013, for subscribers to PlayStation Plus.

In the beta fans will have access to Team Favour Rush, which is Ascension's take on Team Deathmatch. Players fight for favour points from the Gods, unlocking new customisations.

For those shy of strangers, a version dubbed Favour Rush will also be available. God of War: Ascension releases on PS3 March 12th in the US, 13th in EU, 15th in the UK.

"We are kicking off the Beta with our signature Team Favor of the Gods mode and the yet-to-be-seen Favor of the Gods mode, which plays like Team Favor of the Gods, but without the teams," announced the US PlayStation.Blog.

"In both modes, you’ll fight to reach the requisite number of favor points from the Gods, earning points via kills, bonus brutal kills, opening chests, capturing domination points, and, if you’re skillful enough, performing executions using the Spear of Olympus." The beta includes a tutorial which is "an epic experience in and of itself."
