Stepping out of the shadows of the gods, Kratos must adapt to unfamiliar terrain, endure unexpected threats, and seize his second chance as a father. Together with his son Atreus, he ventures into the terrifying wilderness of the North and fights in a deeply personal matter. This overwhelming reimagining of God of War disassembles the defining core elements of the series - powerful combat, breathtaking scope, and a monumental story - and reassembles them in new ways. A bold, new narrative. As the mentor and protector of a son who seeks to earn respect, Kratos faces an unexpected opportunity to temper the rage that has defined him for so long. He questions his dark heritage, which he has passed on to his offspring, and hopes to atone for the mistakes - and horrors - of the past. A darker world. Arm yourself in the untamed forests, mountains, and realms of Norse mythology for a new and dangerous land that boasts its own pantheon of creatures, monsters, and gods. Relentless melee combat. With a free camera that allows you to experience the action from a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective, the action feels closer than ever before, making the battles immediate, fast-paced, and unyielding. Kratos' powerful magical axe is a brutal weapon and also a versatile tool for exploration. Always stay on guard.
