After the success of Fallout, Amazon is soon launching the next adaptation of a popular video game. Everything you need to know about God of War can be found here.
What is God of War? Contrary to what the name might suggest, this is not a new installment of Sony’s video game series, but rather an adaptation of it in the form of a series.
The focus is on the reboot, which shows Kratos within Norse mythology. This means it is not about Kratos in Greek mythology, as depicted in the first three games.
When is the release of God of War? There is currently no date for the series launch. This is not surprising, as filming has not yet begun. According to Nexus Point News, filming is set to begin in March 2026. A release before 2027 is therefore rather unlikely.
Is there a trailer? Unfortunately, there is currently no trailer for the series. However, Amazon has released a first image from the series, showcasing the protagonists Kratos and Atreus.
As soon as there is a proper trailer, we will show it to you here. Until then, you can get a rough impression from the game trailer of God of War Ragnarök:
God of War: Episodes, Stream, and Cast
How many episodes does God of War have? The first season is supposed to have 10 episodes. A second season has already been confirmed by Amazon.
Who streams God of War? The franchise comes from Sony, but for the production, the Japanese company has teamed up with Amazon MGM Studios. Therefore, the series will be available exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
Who stars in God of War? On July 16, Deadline reported that Ryan Hurst will no longer play the role of Kratos after he sustained an injury during filming. It has since been reported that Dave Bautista will take over the role of Kratos (via Variety).
God of War is nothing new for him, as he was already part of the games: He played Thor in God of War Ragnarök and was even nominated for a BAFTA, the British film award, where games have also been recognized for several years.
The following cast is currently known:
- Dave Bautista as Kratos
- Callum Vinson as Atreus
- Max Parker as Heimdall
- Teresa Palmer as Sif
- Mandy Patinkin as Odin
- Ólafur Darri Ólafsson as Thor
- Alastair Duncan as Mimir
- Ed Skrein as Baldur
- Jeff Gulka as Sindri
- Danny Woodburn as Brok
- Evelyn Miller as Gna
- Island Austin as Thrud
- Louis Cunningham as Modi
- Ben Chapple as Magni
- Sonya Walger as Freya
Who else is involved in God of War? Behind the scenes, Ronald D. Moore serves as the showrunner for the series. He also acts as an executive producer and is part of the writing team. Throughout his career, he has worked on series, most notably Battlestar Galactica and the Star Trek franchise. The latter is set to receive a new series soon that aims to attract younger audiences.
God of War: All about the plot
What is God of War about? To the disappointment of some fans, the series tells the story of the reboot from 2018 and leaves out the old games along with Greek mythology.
The story tells of the hero Kratos, who lives in Midgard with his son Atreus. Together, they set off to the highest mountains to scatter the ashes of Kratos’ deceased wife. The journey is a tough test for both and presents numerous challenges that lead to their character growth.
It is assumed that the first season covers the first game, and the second will ultimately focus on God of War Ragnarök. As soon as there are updates about the series, you will find them here.
