The show will follow Kratos, the God of War. He moves from his bloody past in ancient Greece to the Norse realm of Midgard. In the wake of his wife’s passing, Kratos and his estranged son Atreus embark on a perilous journey to fulfill her dying wish of scattering her ashes from the highest peak. His relationship with his son is put to the test as he is forced to fight various new Gods and monsters on this adventure.

Amazon is likely to reap huge profits from the new God of War series.

Sony Pictures Television and Amazon Studios are producing the series, along with PlayStation Productions and Santa Monica Studio. The adaptation will be led by Rafe Judkins.

“The ‘God of War’ is a compelling, character-driven franchise that we believe will captivate our global customers as much with its expansive and immersive worlds as its rich storytelling”.

said Vernon Sanders, head of global television at Amazon Studios in a statement.

“We are honored to share in the adventure of exploring the God of War mythology in such a momentous way with Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions, and Santa Monica Studio,”

he added.

“We are so proud and excited to be working with our friends at Amazon Studios and our partners at PlayStation Productions to adapt this beautiful and heartbreaking game into a premium live-action series,”

said Katherine Pope, president of Sony Pictures Television Studios.

“Rafe, Mark and Hawk are crafting a transportive series that charts a path through the ancient mythological journey of Kratos.”

Amazon’s new live-action series is not alone in the world of video game adaptations. Actually, there are a bunch of similar shows. Among them, HBO is producing The Last of Us, Paramount+ is producing Halo, and Netflix is producing Arcane, Resident Evil, and Witcher.

They haven’t announced a release date for the God of War series yet.
