The God of War is a compelling, character-driven franchise that we believe will appeal to our global customers as much with its expansive and immersive worlds as it is with its rich stories. The adventure of exploring the God of War mythology in such a momentous way is something we are proud to share.

The Children of Men writers and Expanse TV series creators will both produce and write the show, which will behelmed by Rafe Judkins. Let the debates begin while there is still no word on casting.

The president of Sony Pictures Television Studios said that they are proud and excited to be working with their friends at Amazon Studios and their partners at Sony Pictures Production to adapt the game into a series. They are crafting a series that charts a path through Kratos.

The plot of the series is described in the press release, but it doesn't mention the story. Kratos traveled with his son Atreus to place the remains of his wife and mother in the game. They battle epic, mythic creatures and discover more about their fates and the future of the realm along the way.

Fans have learned to be suspicious of remakes of video games. The stories were being told in a two hour movie. The option to tell these stories over multiple hours could be just the thing to capture God of War's emotion and humanity.

It's not known when God of War will be released, but one would think it will be sometime in the year 2024.
