The showrunner for Amazon's highly anticipated adaptation of the critically acclaimed God of War games has delivered a significant positive update that fans have long awaited.
Ronald D. Moore spoke to IGN at San Diego's Comic-Con yesterday, revealing details fans are eager to hear.
According to Moore, the series is set during the Norse saga and will heavily focus on the father-son relationship between Kratos and Atreus, adapting elements from God of War (2018) and God of War: Ragnarök (2022).
"The tone of the show is trying to emulate the tone of the game, which is there's this epic journey, this heartfelt story of these two men setting out on this thing to honour the memory of his wife, Atreus’ mother," Moore told IGN. "So it has this emotional heart, but there's this sense of history of who Kratos is, this mystery about his past, what he represents, the emotions that he's going through. So there's a weight to it, but not so much weight that there's not enjoyment along the way and there's spectacle and there's lots of things going on in this world."
News about the show had been stagnant since its initial announcement in 2022. This marks the first major update on the show's production in a long time, with two seasons already greenlit.
The story of Kratos has been part of the cultural zeitgeist ever since his debut in the award-winning 2005 game God of War.
