So GoW: A will have a multiplayer component....
I can only hope Santa Monica Studios uses a similar mechanic that was used in ME3 where the SP and MP work symbiotically to enhance the entire game experience instead of being two separate entities.
Personally I'm not really excited about this game. GoWIII was a satisfactory conclusion for the story Kratos.
And the fact that this game is a prequel does not bode well with me....
