In order to celebrate the return of God of War properly, Sony has commissioned a special edition for Kratos to arrive in, packed with goodies like an art book and soundtrack name but a few.

What's more is the actual packaging it comes in, which is styled to Pandora’s box. It includes a documentary video, and more...

Frankly this special edition bundle ups the bar on what we call ‘special’. It’s officially called the ‘Ultimate Edition’ because, well, it sounds pretty darn ultimate. We mere European mortals should fear not because an announcement is due for us as well sometime.

A combat arena sporting “seven unique challenges” is included with the Ultimate edition, as well as a “Dominus skin” for in-game use. They even throw in a heavy metal album inspired by God of War. No word of pricing yet but it’s likely to cost a goat sacrifice or two.
