Hands-on: God of War III
God Of War III senior producer Steve Caterson has revealed that the development team was forced to cut a planned epilogue section from the game.

Speaking to Gametrailers, Caterson said that the epilogue had to be dropped due to time constraints, but it could be made available "later" as downloadable content.

"The hardest cut was we had a whole epilogue at the end planned that we just didn't get done," he said.

"The team pushes themselves, constantly trying to do more than they know they can do and they know it going in. But they want to try and we give them the opportunity."

When asked where the franchise might go next, Caterson said that God Of War III marks the end of the trilogy, but not the end of the series.

"I think what I'm most excited about is seeing where this franchise goes, but I'm also excited trying something different, and then bringing what we learned and what we experienced by trying something different back to the franchise," he said.

"And not necessarily revitalising it, but all that extra input, all that different input... You know, as an art form, any art form, the more experiences you can draw upon from other things, will just make what you're focused on so much better."

God Of War III, which has reportedly cost $44 million (£29.3m) to produce, will be released on March 19 as a PS3 exclusive.
