God of War (2018): A New Beginning
His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse Gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive… and teach his son to do the same. This is not the Kratos you remember.
From Santa Monica Studio and brought to PC by Jetpack Interactive, God of War (2018) presents a startling reimagining of the iconic series. Embark on a dark, elemental journey into the intimidating world of Norse mythology, following Kratos and his son Atreus on a deeply personal quest.
Enter the Norse Realm
Leave the marble and columns of Olympus behind for the gritty forests, mountains, and caves of pre-Viking Norse lore. This is a distinctly new realm with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters, and gods. Explore a world that is beautiful yet threatening, filled with danger at every turn.
A Second Chance: A Father’s Journey
Kratos is a father again. As mentor and protector to Atreus, a son determined to earn his respect, he is forced to deal with and control the rage that has long defined him while out in a very dangerous world with his son. Together, they venture into the brutal Norse wilds to fulfill a deeply personal quest—scattering the ashes of Atreus’s mother from the highest peak in all the realms.
