Explained simply
God of War is a long-running video game series following the warrior Kratos, who has battled mythological enemies across ancient Greece and Norse mythology. The franchise has been a major release for Sony's PlayStation console, with each game typically featuring Kratos on an epic quest.
The series is currently building towards multiple interconnected stories, with the forthcoming game Laufey focusing on the character Faye and releasing in February 2027. That game is designed to set the stage for future instalments whilst establishing new characters and locations within the God of War world.
Santa Monica Studio, the developer, is also remaking the original Greek trilogy of God of War games. The company's concurrent projects demonstrate ambitions to develop the franchise comprehensively, connecting the series' past, present and future storylines.
