Based on the report, it looks like the television series will focus on Kratos after his time burning Olympus to the ground when he first finds himself in Midgard. The series will follow the events during 2018’s God of War story, where Kratos’ wife, Faye, has passed away. He must travel through the nine realms with his son to reach the highest peak in the realm to spread her ashes. Their journey will have them facing multiple adversaries, including Baldur, the Aesir god who can feel no pain.
The announcement of the God of War television show happens a month before The Last of Us television series kicks off on HBO Max, starring Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie. The recent trailers have highlighted how devoted the producers and writers were to the source material of the 2013 PlayStation game, and we can only imagine the God of War team will want to follow this same trend. The success of The Last of Us on HBO Max could indicate the quality of God of War’s television debut.
We don’t have an exact timeline for when the God of War series will be happening or when we’ll get our first look at it, but the show has been in development since March.
