Living as a man far from the shadow of the gods, Kratos must adapt to unknown lands, unexpected threats, and a second chance at fatherhood. Together with his son Atreus, they will enter the wild Norse land and fight to complete a deeply personal mission.

• A whole new beginning: Kratos’ revenge against the gods of Olympus is behind him and he now lives as a man in the lands of the Norse gods and monsters. It will be in this hostile and merciless world where he must fight to survive… and where you should teach your child to do the same. This stunning recreation of God of War deconstructs the core elements that defined the series—satisfying combat, breathtaking scale, and gripping story—and combines them in a whole new way.
• A Second Chance: Kratos returns to the role of father. As the mentor and protector of Atreus, a son determined to earn his father’s respect, Kratos is forced to rein in the anger that has characterized him for so long, as he now finds himself in a very dangerous world with his son.
•  A darker, more elemental world: From marble art and the ornate columns of Olympus to the wild forests, mountains and caverns typical of pre-Viking Norse relief, the game presents a new and unique environment, with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters and gods. By placing more emphasis on exploration and discovery, the world will encourage players to delve into every corner of God of War’s incredible yet dangerous landscapes, which are undoubtedly the greatest in the entire franchise.
•  Ruthless Physical Combat: With a shoulder-length camera that brings the action closer to the player than ever before, the fights in God of War are very similar to the pantheon of Norse creatures Kratos will have to face, as they are just as magnificent, cruel, and grueling. A new primary weapon and a set of unreleased abilities honor the typical spirit of God of War while also presenting a vision of a violent conflict that gives rise to several novelties within the genre.
