For the first time ever, King Leonidas will be brought to life in God of War Ascension’s multiplayer as depicted by Gerard Butler in the blockbuster film “300.” If you pre-order God of War: Ascension standard or collector’s edition at GameStop, you will receive a voucher code that gives you access to history’s most heroic Spartan.
We are very excited to partner with Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment to offer you the chance to play as one of the biggest badasses in Greek history on the God of War: Ascension multiplayer battlefield. Donning King Leonidas’s red cape, iconic helmet, and armor you will stand apart as one of the ultimate warriors of Sparta. King Leonidas also comes with his iconic spear, which has its own set of unique combat moves.
In addition to the “300” King Leonidas skin, you will also receive an exclusive double-sided God of War: Ascension poster.

Well I think this is very awesome indeed! Makes me wonder if King Leonidas will feature in the single player story at all? That would be cool as hell! And what better way to attract the many millions of "300" fans (https://www.facebook.com/300Movie) than having the "THIS IS SPARTA!" screaming badass of a lead character King Leonidas playable in the game?! Hopefully retailers in Europe will offer this pre-order incentive or I'll throw a rageful strop (I'll still buy the Collector's Edition though, obviously).
What do you think of the partnership with Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment to have King Leonidas playable in God of War: Ascension?
