Amazon Studios promise an accurate adaptation of the God of War franchise. God of War is based on a David Jaffe-made video game franchise for Sony
Players take control of Kratos, a Spartan soldier betrayed by Ares, and set out on a journey of vengeance, ultimately becoming the new God of War in Greek mythology
The franchise started in 2005. Kratos and his son Atreus are currently in Norway on a new quest rooted in Norse mythology as part of the series’ self-titled reboot from 2018.
Vernon Sanders, the head of television at Amazon Studios, gave an interview to Collider after the company revealed a new show based on the God of War property
The show will be anchored by emotional stakes inside its epic plot, which is expected to primarily focus on the Norse mythology themes from the later games and make Kratos and Atreus’ relationship a central theme.
The God of War series will also be “very loyal to the source material,” according to Sanders. Below are Sanders’ thoughts on God of War:
Viewers of the God of War series have already been given the assurance that Norse mythology would be emphasized in the franchise’s next games.
However, God of War still offers epic fights and stunning settings that have made the game famous to fans.
Focusing on God of War’s subsequent usage of Norse mythology enables the series to leave its modest origins and go on a vast scale.
