God of War is an action-adventure game that follows Kratos and his son Atreus on a journey through the Norse realms. The game combines intense combat with a deeply emotional story, offering a fresh take on the franchise.
God of War marks a new chapter for Kratos, moving from Greek mythology to the harsh and beautiful world of Norse mythology. Players accompany Kratos and his son Atreus as they embark on a quest to scatter the ashes of Kratos’ wife, encountering gods, monsters, and ancient secrets along the way.
