God of War has always been about revelling in on-screen chaos, mowing down hordes of Greek mythological cannon fodder with multi-button combos.

This cathartic practise is about to become all the more satisfying because the new game is capable of supporting twice as many on-screen characters as God of War III and Ascension.

While its forbears could handle hordes of 50, the PS4 hardware has made it possible for up to 100 enemies to share the screen in the upcoming sequel.

Surely Sony Santa Monica wouldn’t be so cruel as to set that many Nordic nasties on us at once, but it’s safe to assume that magical axe is going to see plenty of action.
