While God of War began with Greek Mythology as Kratos battled against the likes of Zeus and Hades, the show will focus on the recent revival of the franchise. Kratos returned in 2018 with God of War, set in the Norse realms. God of War Ragnarok followed to continue his story. The show will retell the Norse chapter of Kratos' life where he attempted to settle down with a wife and son, only to be forced to fight yet again.
Amazon did not reveal any information pertaining to the cast or a release date. This could mean it is likely in the very early stages of development.
