New God of War Trailer Shows Customisable Armour and Progression System

This week Sony released a new trailer for the soon-to-be-released God of War, giving us a glimpse of the progression system and customisable armour.

You'll be able to collect and craft your own armour for Kratos, giving him different looks depending on what you decide to focus on. The stats that you're looking to improve are any of the following: Strength, Runic, Defence, Vitality, Luck and Cooldown.

The aim of all this is to allow players to customise Kratos to how they want to play the game. Want a Mourinho-esque character, who can defend well and go for the counter? Level up the defence capabilities. Just want to hack and slash whoever looks at you the wrong way? Increase his proficiency with hand-to-hand combat, or improve the power of the axe.

Interested? Watch the video above to see these features in action. God of War releases on April 20th, exclusively for PlayStation 4.
