God of War: Chains of Olympus locked for Japan release

Capcom just announced that it will be picking up the gigantic God of War: Chains of Olympus for the Sony PlayStation Portable then ship it to Japan. The constantly angry Kratos is going to be localized with full Japanese voice coupled with subtitles that can be turned on and off. For more details, hit that jump!

It always has been no holds barred for Kratos, and Japan‘s usual lack of love for western video games is just another obstacle he’ll try to get out of the way. Capcom has finally announced that it will be bringing the Sony PlayStation Portable title God of War: Chains of Olympus by developer Ready at Dawn to its home country’s shores this summer.

The bite-sized epic will feature Japanese voices with subtitles which can be turned on or off. Similar to its expected Mature rating from the ESRB, Japan’s CERO gave God of War: Chains of Olympus a D for players over 17 years old. Kratos is going to swing his blades soon in the land of the rising sun, and details are expected to surface prior to release, so watch this space for updates!
