A teaser countdown site called Spartans Stand Tall has finally revealed what has been rumored since back in February of last year: new God of War game is coming to the PlayStation Portable from the same studio that brought us the superb Chains of Olympus, Ready At Dawn Studios. Of course, this all comes after Ready At Dawn famously and publicly gave up PSP development when they mailed all their dev kits back to Sony...guess they had a change of heart.
As this is probably a lead up to a full-blown reveal at E3 in June, details were somewhat slim. What we do know (via Joystiq) is that God of War: Ghost of Sparta will take place between God of War and God of War II and will have a longer campaign, more boss battles, and more magic and weapons when compared to the first PSP outing. In addition, Sony has promised that the game will be hitting store shelves--and presumably the PlayStation Store, though that wasn't yet confirmed--in calendar year 2010. Despite the PSP's fading fanbase in North America, the combination of Ghost of Sparta and Kojima Productions' Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker may actually make 2010 a banner year for the system. E3 is getting more exciting by the day.
