Controversial God of War: Ascension trophy renamed

Sony Santa Monica has confirmed that a controversial God of War: Ascension trophy is to be patched out of the game.

The patch will rename the Bros Before Hoes trophy to Bros Before Foes.

The trophy can be earned after Kratos defeats a Fury, one of the female antagonists in the game.

"We have created and will soon push out a patch for God of War: Ascension that alters the title of one of the game trophies," read a Sony Santa Monica statement.

"The text was offensive to some members of our community and impacted their enjoyment of the game.

"We are endlessly committed to ensuring that our community can fully enjoy the experiences the team has created. As such, we've addressed the feedback and amended the trophy in question."

God of War: Ascension will be available from 15 March.
