God of War for Playstation 4

Santa Monica Studio and creative director Cory Barlog have ushered in a new beginning for one of gaming's most recognizable icons. Kratos, once consumed by his vengeance against the Gods of Olympus, now lives as a man in the realm of Norse Gods and monsters. This harsh, unforgiving world forces him to 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.

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. As mentor and protector to Atreus, a son determined to earn his respect, Kratos is forced to deal with and control the rage that has long defined him, all while navigating the dangers of this very perilous world.

The realm of Midgard and beyond, rooted in the gritty forests, mountains, and caves of pre-Viking Norse lore, presents a distinctly new setting with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters, and gods. With an added emphasis on discovery and exploration, the world will draw players in to uncover every inch of God of War's breathtakingly threatening landscape—by far the largest in the franchise.

Fights in God of War mirror the grandeur, grit, and grueling nature of the Norse creatures Kratos will face. An over-the-shoulder free camera brings the player closer to the action than ever before, creating a vicious, physical combat experience. Kratos' new main weapon, a powerful and versatile magic-infused axe, serves as a brutal instrument of destruction as well as a tool for exploration.

Through this journey, Kratos is presented with an unexpected opportunity to master the rage that has long defined him. Questioning the dark lineage he's passed on to his son, he hopes to make amends for the shortcomings of his past and forge a new path forward. This intensely personal quest serves as the heart of the game, as Kratos strives to become a better man and father.

God of War is a bold new vision that preserves the defining spirit of the franchise while pushing the boundaries of what players can expect. With its mature rating, breathtaking scale, and profound narrative, this adventure promises to be an unforgettable experience for a single player.
