Weapons* The Blades of Athena: Given to Kratos by the goddess Athena. Much of the combo moves from the original have carried over. The Cyclone of Chaos maneuver is still the same (as seen in the video "Stabby" on IGN as the first move that Kratos makes), while a similar move displays Kratos spinning both blades on the same side, instead of one on each side.
* The Hammer of Souls: This hammer comes from the Barbarian King and can summon the dead souls of Hades; this weapon is actually the returning spell "Army of Hades," but incorporated into a weapon.
* Blade of Olympus: Giant sword that glows blue, Kratos will have to sacrifice godly power, red orbs and execute Poseidon's Rage to power it up. The sword absorbs enemies power when you kill them with it.
Also recieves a spear like energy weapon.
Magic
* Poseidon's Rage: Kratos starts out with this magic, and the level one spell appears to be more powerful than the starting spell in the first game. The Wrath of Poseidon, the attack where Kratos spins around, returns at level two. Earned in the first game from Poseidon.
* The Typhon Bane: Given to by Typhon. Level one shoots out supernatural wind arrows; level two shoots out a charged shot in the form of a whirlwind which will send multiple enemies skywards; level three will shoot out a massive tornado. This tornado is not an arrow-shot but an actual tornado which rips and tears enemies to pieces.
* Kronos' Fury: A new thunder magic from Kronos which lets Kratos place thunderbolts that will essentially tie-down enemies and shock them.
* Euryale's Head: The new 'Medusa's Gaze', it transforms enemies into stone as in the original but it weilds new attacks and features. Earned from defeating Eruyale.
* Apocalypse of Atlas: The last magic has been confirmed to be an earth spell which will shoot boulders at enemies at level one. Level two creates earthquakes and, at level three, fissures that enemies fall into. Earned by defeating Atlas.
Relics
* Amulet of the fates: Slows down time for a certain amount of time when in range of a fate statue.
* Wings of Icarus: Allows to hover for 3 seconds
* Golden Fleece: Allows the reflection of projectiles and reduction of some % of melee attacks.
* Helmet of Hades: Grants invisibility for short period of time.
* Sandals of Hermes: Kratos can now run faster
* Shining Array: Lets Kratos suck his opponets souls in exchange for some red orbs

I thought Kratos got upgraded to god-status or something.
Spoiler:
He did. However at the beginning if the game he was betrayed by the gods and taken in by the Titans. He lost all his power by draining it into the blade of Olympus, at that moment Zeus came took the bade and killed Kratos with it. While falling to hades he's caught by Gaia and the Titans. Guided by the Titans, Kratos makes his way through the game in hopes of gaining audience with the sisters of fate. When he finally reaches the sisters they refuse to change his destiny, so Kratos did what he does best. He killed them. Kratos then turns back time so that he can stop himself from ever being killed by Zeus. Kratos confronts Zeus taking the blade of Olympus and so they battle. Near the end of the battle Zeus is being owned, but before the final blow can be delivered Athena steps in front of her father and takes the attack. Athena dies and tells Kratos that he cannot defeat Zeus because in defeating Zeus he would destroy Olympus. Zeus escapes and makes his way back to Olympus. Zeus then gathers the gods of Olympus and they plot of a way to rid themselves of Kratos. At that moment Olympus begins to shake, so Zeus and the remain gods look down upon the mountain to see whats causing the disturbance. The gods see Kratos and the titans climbing the mountain, at that moment the game ends.
