This article contains minor spoilers regarding the ending of God of War 3.

Speaking to Kotaku, God of War III director Stig Asmussen has revealed that the team at Sony Santa Monica had a bigger ending planed for the game, but it had to be cut in order to move resources to other areas of the game.

“There was a pretty large thing that we chopped from the ending that I had regrets about, but then something we added at the end that helps make up for it a little bit, and helps make it more personal,” Asmussen said, doing his best to avoid spoilers. “We had titan encounters in the game, we had a pretty big one planed for the end and we got pretty far with it it, but it was just one of those deals where we just had so much.”

He added: “It was to the point where we had to remove one just to invest time in the other ones that we had in the game, to get those right. We could have had more, and everything else would have suffered.”

While Asmussen isn’t promising the original ending will ever be completed, he did tell Kotaku that should it be so it will be offered as free DLC.

“As far as DLC goes, it might be something we might think about getting out there someday,” Asmussen said. “The pieces are in place, the idea is written. If it’s something we put out there it would be something that would be free.”

God of War III is scheduled for release on March 19 only on PS3. See what we thought by checking out our Video Review.
