God of War IV: Modern Warfare - Hidden trailer for new sequel

Over the last year rumours have been spreading through the internet about the next title in the God of War series. Sony Santa Monica the developers of the God of War series have announced that while God of War III is the last in the current story involving Kratos. That it will not be the last game in the God of War series, this has hinted towards the next game having a completely new hero.
What many people do not know is that there is a special teaser trailer featured on the God of War collection disc for the PS3. The video “Fate of the Titans can be unlocked after beating the game on Spartan Mode.
The Video shows footage of the present day world and is narrated by Gai who narrated the previous games, and who was also on e of the titans. Gai explains that “All myths need not be from ancient times” as we see a group of what we believe are explorers or military finding and opening Pandora’s Temple (remember from the first game, that was on Cronos’s back) The video conclude with Gai saying “Soon as with all great myths, a new hero will emerge”.
**SPOILERS**
In the video “Fate of the Titans” it says that the titan Chronos lives for another thousand years after the events of the first God of War but as everyone who has played God of War III knows, Kratos kills Chronos in the underworld. So it would be a confliction of narrative if the teaser trailer is to be believed
But it is also worth remembering that Kratos eventually killed Chronos by stabbing him in the head with the Blade of Olympus and it is plain to see that in the video “Fate of the Titans”, Chronos had a hole in his head at the exact same location that Kratos Stabbed.
So we should all be aware that it is likely that there will be a follow up to the widely successful God of War series and it is possible that the teaser trailer “Fate of the Titans” is our first glance at this follow up even though there are a few conflicts in story that need to be addressed.

God of War 4 Trailer - Fake

The following trailer hit the internet mid 2010 and at first a few people were convinces that it was a teaser trailer for a 4th instalment of the best selling action francise. But as we all know know this is a fake ad as Sony's Santa Monica team who are responisble for the God of War series have claimed that the trailers was not released by them, so it must be a fan made trailer. Oh well, it was exciting while it lasted.
