From Santa Monica Studio and creative director
Cory Barlog comes a new beginning for one of gaming’s most recognizable icons.
Living as a man outside the shadow of the gods, Kratos must adapt to unfamiliar
lands, unexpected threats, and a second chance at being a father. Together with
his son Atreus, the pair will venture into the brutal Norse wilds and fight to
fulfill a deeply personal quest.
• Bold New Beginning — His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind
him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse Gods and monsters. It is in
this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive…And teach his son
to do the same. This startling reimagining of God of War deconstructs the core
elements that defined the series—satisfying combat; breathtaking scale; and a
powerful narrative—and fuses them anew.
• A Second Chance — Kratos is a father again. As mentor and protector to
Atreus, a son determined to earn his respect, he is forced to deal with and
control the rage that has long defined him while out in a very dangerous world
with his son.
• A Darker, More Elemental World — From the marble and columns of ornate
Olympus to the gritty forests, mountains, and caves of Pre Viking Norse lore,
this is a distinctly new realm with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters,
and gods. With an added emphasis on discovery and exploration, the world will
draw players in to explore every inch of God of War’s breathtakingly
threatening landscape—by far the largest in the franchise
