God of War: Ascension gets new weapons and armor in second DLC release

God of War: Ascension players will be able to augment their multiplayer characters' arsenal with new weapons and armor this week, publisher Sony Computer Entertainment announced today.

The Armor of Typhon and the Mercenary Blade, known as the Primordial Weapons, will be available on PlayStation Network today when Sony updates the PlayStation Store with Ascension's second set of DLC. Last week, developer Sony Santa Monica released the Armors of Anarchy and Blades of Darkness alongside Chimeran Armor. Everything costs money except the Chimeran Armor; each weapon or armor set in the first DLC release sold for $2.99.

Sony Santa Monica is continuing to work on Ascension multiplayer DLC, including smaller items like new weapons and larger pieces of content like additional maps and a fourth weapon class. God of War: Ascension launched in March exclusively on PlayStation 3.
