Though its story still features some darker moments, Sons of Sparta sports a somewhat more lighthearted tone as it explores the relationship between Kratos and his younger brother, Deimos, during their formative years as fledgling Spartans. (I’ve excluded Betrayal and A Call from the Wilds games since these are not part of the main story line). Taking place shortly after the events in the main game, Kratos receives an anonymous invitation to Valhalla and journeys with Mímir to the remnants of Asgard. In his quest to rid himself of the nightmares that haunt him, Kratos must embark on a journey that will reveal the origins of lost worlds, and finally answer long-awaited questions about his dark past. Armed with double-chained blades, as well a selection of new weapons, Kratos will take on mythology’s darkest creatures.

Vicious, physical combat with an over-the-shoulder free camera that brings the player closer to the action than ever before. Kratos and Atreus’ 2018 adventure is available on Steam and Epic Games Store with a range of optimizations for PC players. Armed with his trusty weapons of war – including the Leviathan Axe and the Blades of Chaos – Kratos’ deadly skills will be tested like never before as he fights to protect his family. A host of new abilities for him and Atreus also await, leaving room for fluid, expressive and customizable combat in this epic and unflinching tale. God of War Ragnarök sends Kratos and Atreus on a mythic journey for answers before Ragnarök arrives.

From the marble and columns of ornate Olympus to the gritty forests, mountains and caves of Pre-Viking Norse lore, this is a distinctly new realm with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters and gods.

God Of War Ascension: Game Guide

Familiarize yourself with the basics of combat, explore the lore of this legendary setting and get a look at the enemies you’ll face in the official PlayStation guide to God of War. Game director Cory Barlog also has a few tips for going toe-to-toe with some of God of War’s nastier beasts in this video. There are 10 main entries in the God of War series, starting with 2005’s God of War and – at the time of writing – ending with God of War Laufey (release date TBA). There have also been spin-off games for mobile and Facebook, and compilations for PSP, PS3 and Vita.

We haven’t stopped working since Ascension’s launch, and we’re more excited than ever to keep improving Multiplayer with new features and gameplay enhancements such as this. In a war between the astronomically large deities known as the Primordials, the madness and rage of the war took form, becoming the three guardians of honor, the Furies, who were tasked with exacting retribution onto any oath-breaker or betrayer. The first victim of the Furies was the Hecatonchires, Aegaeon, who had broken a blood oath to Zeus himself. The Furies set about their task, and, believing death to be too kind for one who had broken an oath to a God, transformed Aegaeon’s humongous body into a stone prison for all who would dare follow his example in the future.

For God of War Ragnarök, check out the game’s official combat guide for tips on how to get the best out of your equipment and the better of the many foes Kratos and Atreus will face. Experience an untold chapter in Kratos’ journey set during the harsh years of Spartan training alongside his brother Deimos. Shortly after Kratos was tricked by Ares into slaying his family, he swears to avenge them and renounces his blood oath to serve the God of War. In contrast to the Greek pantheon, God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök set Kratos on a new journey with the Norse world, leaving his old life behind and seeking a new life with his son Atreus.

Sony did reveal that it would be remaking the original God of War trilogy at the latest State of Play, but no release date has been announced for that just yet. God of War III Remastered serves up visual and performance improvements to the third mainline game, which also serves as the final entry in Kratos’ Greek saga. In it, Kratos climbs Mount Olympus as he seeks to reach its zenith and bring his full might down upon the gods who wronged him. This provides a satisfying end to his original character arc that began with God of War (2005), making it essential for truly understanding the emotional stakes of 2018’s soft reboot. Since this is such an important franchise, I am sure that more GoW games will be launched in the future and I will keep the list updated.

The gameplay is similar to previous installments, focusing on combo-based combat with the player’s main weapon, the Blades of Chaos, and other weapons acquired by the game’s World Weapons mechanic. It continues the use of quick time events from previous entries but also utilizes a promptless free-form system. Four magical attacks and a power-enhancing ability can be used as alternative combat options, and the game features puzzles and platforming elements. The game also features a redesigned combat system, gameplay mechanics not available in previous installments, and downloadable content. Notably, Ascension was the first installment in the series to include multiplayer, which is online-only and features modes for both competitive and cooperative play.

I’d go so far as to say Kratos is one of PlayStation’s most recognizable mascots. This means, that if you want to follow the story from the rise of Kratos up to the latest events and follow the story line, you will have to play the games in a different order than the release date one. Below is my list of all of the God of War games from the main series, listed chronologically based on the story. Depending on the difficulty setting, the average player can expect to take around hours total to complete the main God of War story. Players seeking a completionist run can expect around hours of gameplay total.

God of War Laufey was revealed in June 2026 during State of Play, and its release date will be announced in the future. Before that, God of War Sons of Sparta was released on February 12, 2026; and God of War Ragnarök was released on November 9, 2022 with the Valhalla DLC following in December 2023.
