About God of War (2018 video game)

God of War (2018) is a stunning reinvention of the action-adventure series, trading its Greek setting for the cold, mythical realm of Norse legend and following the hardened warrior Kratos in his new role as a father. Rather than pure rage-fueled combat, the game centers on Kratos's journey with his young son Atreus, as they set out to spread his late wife's ashes at the highest peak. The relationship between father and son drives a surprisingly emotional, mature story, while the combat has been rebuilt: the signature Leviathan Axe can be thrown and magically recalled, and it feels weighty and satisfying to wield. The world of Midgard is large and explorable, full of realms, lore, puzzles, and powerful bosses including the legendary Valkyries. With one continuous camera shot, gorgeous visuals, and deep, rewarding combat and progression, God of War won an enormous number of Game of the Year awards and is widely considered one of the finest action games ever made.

God of War FAQ

Do I need to have played the old God of War games?

No, but it helps. This game is a soft reboot that follows a new, older Kratos, so newcomers can jump in, while longtime fans will understand the backstory.

Can I play with two players?

The game is single-player, but Atreus is controlled by AI as a companion, helping in combat and puzzles alongside Kratos.

What is special about the gameplay?

The Leviathan Axe can be thrown and summoned back, combat is deliberate and brutal, and the game is presented as one continuous unbroken camera shot.

Is there a lot to explore?

Yes — Midgard and several other realms hide secrets, side quests, the brutal Valkyrie side-bosses, and lots of lore for those who dig deeper.
