The highly-anticipated prequel, for which Kratos has been scaled down from his God-like proportions, is finally here and promises to be one of the most craved titles out in the wild for Sony's handheld.

Chains of Olympus is the common creation of Sony Computer Entertainment's studio from Santa Monica and of the British from Ready at Dawn, but it seems the latter has call it quits with the former's portable platform.

Although Kratos' muscles look sexy even on 480X270, with numerous praises received from prestigious publications (PlayStation the Official Magazine – 5/5 and the Editor’s Choice Award, Game Informer – 9/10 and the Handheld Game of the Month Award, Game Pro – 4.75/5 and the Editor’s Choice Award, IGN.com – 9.4/10 and the Editor’s Choice Award, 1Up.com – 9.5/10, and Gamezone.com – 9.5/10), Ready at Dawn has just had it with the PSP and they're ready to explore new horizons.

According to an inteview published by Next-Gen, God of War Chains of Olympus "architect" Ru Weerasuriya said that "ss for us, our work on the PSP has come to an end. But who knows, we might come back to it in the future if the right opportunity arises."

In case you didn't know, Ready at Dawn are responsible for the PSP hit Daxter, which came out in 2006 and was considered the first system seller (something like what Halo 3 is for the Xbox 360...) for Sony's portable platform. Eventually the game sold more than 2 million copies worldwide and even got its own special bundle when the PSP 2000 was launched last year.

We suspect though that behind the British studio's decision to abandon development for the PSP lies the ominous truth that games for the portable console are not that profitable. Most of them are pirated and played on cracked firmware, and it's a miracle that a PSP title like Daxter sold more copies than the majority of the PC or console games.
