God of War: Ascension "From Ashes" Super Bowl 2013 Commercial - Full Version 

Artreus: "A sister?" Kratos: "Yes boy, a sister." Artreus: "What was her name?" Kratos: "Girl"

The most dangerous man is the one that has nothing to lose.

It's 2022 and this commercial still gives me goosebumps. Perfection. The way He goes from pure happiness to pain,sorrow, anger and finally pure hate is amazing.

I cannot believe I never knew this was the BuffDudes guy until now. That's so badass

Kratos: “This path you walk...vengeance... you will find no peace.”

"I killed many who were deserving...and many who were not."

Kratos gets a bad rep as a stereotypical “angry macho man”. But this trailer shows that he is a tragic character and the game shows that his reaction to the world around him is authentic. This trailer really nails the center of his character.

10 years later and this still gives me chills.

Arteus: I have a sister? Kratos: You had a sister BOI.

Forever cursed to wear the ashes of his family on his skin.

They did it! They mentioned her in Ragnarok! It brought me tears man, them mentioning her and his brother, them acknowledging the past titles means so much to me😭😭

Can't believe this came out almost 10 years ago. How time flies...

Those soldiers are so dead with R1+square at the end

"You can not change. You will always be a monster" "Yes, but I am YOUR monster no longer".

Freya: I know Baldur wasn't perfect, but he was mine. Kratos: I know. Freya: You know? You think you can even begin to understand the pain of losing a child? Kratos: Yes- I do. Freya: There was another. Before Atreus? Kratos: Her name was Calliope.

The ending was definitely a L1+square moment

*Nearly 2020 and this trailer is still one of the most beautiful game promotions I've ever seen.*

Imagine a God of War movie with this quality... It would be the best greek's mythology movie ever

Unbelievable. I am just seeing this in 2022. This is the definition of perfection.

Better than every Netflix adaptation

6 years later and this Ad is still one of the greatest masterpiece I’ve ever witnessed.

This hits harder after completing Valhalla in GOW Ragnarök...

Can you imagine the pain and anger of having a constant reminder, of the family you lost everytime you look at your reflection, Kratos wears the ashes of his family on his skin a curse of his deal with Ares.

and thats the reason why kratos wants to kill thanos :,(

2021, and this still the best trailer

Man... This is 10 years old. Time flies like ashes.

and now he has found redemption and peace

What’s always fascinating about Kratos is that many people think he’s running on only anger. But it’s not just anger fueling him it’s guilt,sadness,loss, the fact he knows that the last thing his family saw was him ending their life. All those emotions form an extremely volatile character who only knows how to do one thing: lash out

"There's nowhere you can hide, Spartan. Put as much distance between you and the truth as you want. It changes nothing. Pretend to be everything you are not. Teacher... Husband... Father... There there is one unavoidable truth you will never escape. You cannot change. You will always be... A monster..." "I know... But I am _your_ monster no longer."

All these many years, and this scene right here is still so gut wrenching.

Anyone else watching this after realizing one of the buff dudes was Kratos?

To this day, the best live action trailer of a video game ever made.

No exaggeration, in the last 7 years I've watched this trailer 1000 times.

After 10 years, this trailer still manages to bring a few tears to my eyes.

Man in a little over 3 months from now this trailer will be 10 years old. And it still sends a shiver down my spine.

Anyone watching this in 2020 Man this is so Nostalgic

"Do not mistake my silence for lack of grief! Mourn how you wish, leave me to my own." "I'm sorry...I didn't realize..." "No...why would you? You do not know my ways."

This is the best trailer in gaming history. It even hits harder after Valhallah

Yes boys I'm back, only real ones come back to this legendary trailer.

Trailers are not made this good anymore this one is legendary

That’s deep......he wears the ashes of his fallen loved ones....

10 Years later and it still giving chills down my spine.

It's 2023 , this is still one of the best and emotional commercial I've ever seen Just beautiful Felt the pain of kratos 💔

Atreus: So getting revenge cost him his freedom.. Hope it was worth it. Kratos: It was not.

No matter how many times i watch this. I will always get chills

A man with nothing to lose is more dangerous than a man with everything to lose, because a man with nothing to lose can basically do whatever he pleases with no fear of repercussions or punishments.

Coming back to tbis after the valhalla dlc....man.

My heart started aching when I saw his loving child crumble away. And when the music hits made me want to cry for this man.

0:51 the only smile we will ever get. 😭😌

Nearly 2021 and this trailer is still one of the most beautiful game promotions I've ever seen.

Watching this trailer after the end of Ragnarok is priceless. We know how much Kratos lost, how much mistakes he did, how long he was enraged. Seeying him finally regaing his humanity, even if it's slowly is very heart warming.

I seriously dont understand how this trailer has kept its emotion for more then 7 years, its astounding

"I see a man" I told the psychiatrist. "What does the man look a like?" She asked. "He sits upon a throne of sadness and rage, and every day he mourns for his family..."

You’ve come a long way Kratos

Best cosplay of Kratos yet

The only superbowl commercial that matterred

Kratos: killer of Olympus, murderer of families, ghost of Sparta, god of war, broken soldier, destroyer of worlds, last of the Spartans, and now father to a Norse son.

His home, his brothers, his reputation… and most of all, his family. All violently taken and turned to ash.

I watched this 7 years ago and it gave me chills and till this day nothing changed, chills everytime.

make a movie of this game, the story is stunning

Dear director of this advert... please make a God of War Movie.

10 years after still the best trailer ever made. Still gives me goosebumps.

I cant believe this was 11 years ago, Its been a journey indeed

That mother and her daughter's gruesome demise was the spark that lead to most of the god's deaths, dozens of demigods, and hundreds of monsters. Pretty much the end of the world. I guess it really does take only one bad day to set a person onto a path of destruction.

Best commercial ever

I wish I didn't discover this now but when it came out.

It's crazy to think this trailer/game is almost 10 years old

This man really killed all the gods that’s crazy

For those of you who don't know; the story is about kratos, a normal spartan, being at war, and he and his fellow warriors are terribly losing. So kratos calls out to the god of war, and asks him to grant him the power to basically survive and gain victory in this war. In exchange, kratos is forever at the will of the god. The god forces kratos (I think without him being aware) to burn down Athena's village, and slaughter many innocent people, including his own daughter and wife. Kratos realizes what the god made him do, and is of coarse sad and crying. The other gods are upset with his "unforgivable" actions, and as punishment, they make him wear his daughters and wife's ashes on his skin giving him nightmares and sadness of them for the rest of his life. Which is why his skin is so white. Kratos basically gets revenge, by killing the god of war, and takes the god's place. Making kratos the new god of war. They sucked at showing it back on PS2, but it truly was and is an emotional story.

Brandon played Kratos really well. Didn't even know that it was one of the Buff Dudes until now.

Still watching this in 2024. I swear this is the best game trailer made man. The song just fits it so well man

Sony did it before it becomes an Avengers Meme

Kratos has lost his wife, his kid, and his brother in arms. he is a man who's lost too much, and he can't take it anymore.

Quase entrando em 2023 e eu ainda venho assistir essa obra de arte

Still watching this absolute masterpiece in 2024❤

I literally just noticed this... When Kratos stops crying and it zooms out.. It's raining everywhere, on everything, and he is the center of the eye that cries. Nothing is safe anymore and we all know that lool

For some reason, I want a live action movie of Kratos just killing everyone.

im only 6 years old and i already know this is the greatest trailer of all time, nothing will ever come close

Makes me glad to be a part of the playstation nation

1:37 L1+SQUARE

14 year old me: *Amazed by this trailer and excited for the game* 24 year old me: *Crying HARD from Nostalgia* 😭😭😭😭

This hits even harder after valhalla.

I keep coming back to this trailer whenever it comes to my mind and when I do, I watch it multiple times

Who's watching this after playing 2018's GoW?

Truly a beautiful trailer for such a loved franchise😢

If they made a movie this guy would fit perfectly.

Still can't believe Brandon from Buff Dudes, portrayed a young Kratos, man he sure did him justice.

Best trailer for a game I've ever seen, and honestly that guy looks just like Kratos. He portrays his sadness and his rage perfectly in this commercial. We need to cast that guy for a live action movie immediately

1:40 L1+square

Buff Dudes Brandon plays Kratos in this trailer 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Anyone who truly knows the full story behind the series, this trailer brings a river of tears. Lysandra Caliope and Deimos, his family murdered. Pandora lost in the flames. I try sometimes to put myself in his shoes to see what it feels like to suffer that much and just the idea hurts my heart. Sentiment for the would be villain Kratos is what makes this game series the best ever

Who's coming back to this a year later to still show support for an awesome game?

This trailer deep in my heart❤

Terminar el GOW Ragnarok y volver a ver esta cinemática es muy triste,pero al final Kratos logra ver que es venerado y amado por todos los habitantes, te llena de alegría, acompañado de sus palabras diciendo,un camino diferente 🌍 así es , el logro que todo sea mejor dando y no quitando vidas.

3 years later and still one of the best gaming trailers ever

2020 and this is still the best trailer to have ever existed

The one who played Kratos here is a bodybuilder called Brandon from a channel called Buff Dudes. They're really popular and give best fitness tips

2024 and after finishing Ragnarok and the Valhalla DLC my word.. this absolutely gives me even more chills 😭

if they make a movie of this game, have this guy in the trailer be Kratos. he's just such a convincing Kratos

I think a lot of people forget Kratos was actually human and had emotions, and then he became the savage, god-killing machine we know him as in the games. This trailer captures a once normal, Spartan military general Kratos, so goddamn perfectly, with his family, and his happiness, and we even see him smile, something so rarely seen in the God of War games. For a very brief moment, everyone gets to see Kratos as the good and kind person he once was. But then vision fades...and turns to ash. Kratos is reminded of what he did, what has been done to him, all that he has lost, and his plans for vengeance. And we, as an audience, are also reminded of what Kratos has now become...an immoral, ruthless, cold-blooded killer. This is the story of his path to revenge...and his ascension to god-slayer. #trailerreview #sorryimverypassionate #ilovegodofwar
