We received the final boxed version of God of War: Chains of Olympus for PSP this morning. And on the back of the manual? A teaser image for God of War III for the PlayStation 3.

The tease is almost exactly the same as the one featured on the back of the manual for God of War II, which originally confirmed that a God of War game was in the works for the PSP. The only difference this time is there’s no hint at a release date — only the words “Coming Soon” with a PS3 logo, as opposed to the slightly more specific (and eventually incorrect) “Coming 2007″ featured on the God of War II manual.

Of course, we already knew God of War III was in the works for the PlayStation 3. Hopefully with this far more overt tease, though, it means more details on the game will soon follow as well.

Creating a spin-off of a beloved story is a tricky task, one that usually results in failure. For every prequel that’s fleshed out the original work’s backstory and deepened its characters, you can name a dozen that merely tainted their inspirations by association. To date, Square Enix hasn’t done very well trying to expand on Final Fantasy VII; its offshoots to date run a very small gamut from completely lame (Dirge of Cerberus) to completely wretched (Advent Children). So by all rights, Crisis Core — the latest effort to expand the FFVII universe — should be painful, a disaster that further cheapens the good name of the landmark PlayStation role-playing game.

In February, HD DVD creator Toshiba officially called an armistice in the high-definition video playback wars, saying it would cease production of its format standard and let it fade into obscurity alongside Sony’s Betamax.
