God of War (2018) is the PS4 sequel to God of War III - set some years after the last game. It is mechanically very different to previous games in the franchise: Overview His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus behind him, Kratos now lives in the realm of Norse deities and monsters. It’s in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive, and not only teach his son to do the same… but also prevent him from repeating the Ghost of Sparta’s bloodstained mistakes. This staggering reimagining of God of War combines all the hallmarks of the iconic series – brutal combat, epic boss fights and breathtaking scale – and fuses them with a powerful and moving narrative that re-establishes Kratos’ world.
