Amazon Studios has just announced its plan to create a live-action adaptation of the beloved video game series God of War.
Reports claim that the adaptation will be based on 2018’s game and showcase Kratos’ attempt in his “retirement” in Midgar. After his beloved wife passes away, he and Atreus embark on a perilous journey up the summit to honor her with their last goodbye by spreading her ashes there. “Kratos soon realizes the journey is an epic quest in disguise, one which will test the bonds between father and son and force Kratos to battle new gods and monsters for the fate of the world,” Variety adds.
Rafe Judkins, Mark Fergus, Hawk Ostby, and Cory Barlog of Santa Monica Studio have teamed up with Yumi Yang, Jeff Ketcham from PlayStation Productions, and Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan to bring the series adaptation to life. Amazon Studios, alongside Sony Picture Television, will join hands in association with PlayStation Productions for this ambitious project.
“‘God of War’ is a compelling, character-driven franchise that we believe will captivate our global customers as much with its expansive and immersive worlds as its rich storytelling,” Vernon Sanders, head of global television at Amazon Studios, said. “We are honored to share in the adventure of exploring the God of War mythology in such a momentous way with Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions, and Santa Monica Studio.”
“We are so proud and excited to be working with our friends at Amazon Studios and our partners at PlayStation Productions to adapt this beautiful and heartbreaking game into a premium live-action series,” Katherine Pope, president of Sony Pictures Television Studios, added. “Rafe, Mark, and Hawk are crafting a transportive series that charts a path through the ancient mythological journey of Kratos.”
Asad Qizilbash, head of PlayStation Productions, also shared, “‘ God of War’ is one of PlayStation’s most awarded video games, so we’re excited to partner with Sony Pictures Television and Amazon Studios to bring our beloved franchise to fans and new audiences in a bold and authentic way.”
