"God of War" is an action-adventure video game series developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The series primarily follows Kratos, a former Spartan warrior who becomes the God of War. Driven by revenge, Kratos battles through various mythological worlds, facing gods, monsters, and titans from Greek and Norse mythology.
The original games are set in Greek mythology, where Kratos seeks vengeance against Ares, the original God of War, and later confronts other gods and titans. The series' reboot in 2018 shifts the setting to Norse mythology, where Kratos, now older and more reflective, navigates a new pantheon while raising his son, Atreus. The narrative explores themes of redemption, fatherhood, and the consequences of violence, all set against a backdrop of epic battles and intricate storytelling.
