The God of War game series, which is considered one of the flagship series of the Sony PlayStation, seems to be on its way to the screen and according to various reports on the network, the Amazon company is in the process of developing a TV adaptation based on the brand, and will be broadcast on Prime Video.



According to the Deadline website, the television adaptation starring Kratos will come to us from Mark Fergus and Hawke Otsby who were producers in the series The Expanse and Raff Judkins who produced the series The Wheel together with Sony's TV division.



Developed by Sony's exclusive developer Santa Monica, the God of War series features five games spanning multiple generations of PlayStation 2 consoles (and two games for the PSP).

In 2018 Sony released the fifth game in the series which was both a sequel and a reboot to the original series, and over the next year it is expected to release Ragnarok - the second game in the new reboot.

The first three God of War games revolve around the character of Kratos, a Spartan warrior who accidentally murders his family and is nicknamed Ghost of Sparta after the war venom used him and manipulated him for his own needs.

Kratos in response vows revenge on the gods of Olympus, and embarks on a bloodthirsty journey across Greek mythology.

This trilogy also spawned God of War: Ascension which takes place before the original games, and Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta which takes place before the first and second games (respectively).



Starting with the fifth main title (God of War 2018) the character of Kratos undergoes a fundamental change, and it reaches the period of Norse mythology.

There have been no official responses from Sony and Amazon, or further details on which version of Kratos we will get to see on the TV screen, but there is a chance that for a start the four original games from Norse mythology will receive a TV adaptation, mainly because they provide a little more "meat" for the plot and story. Because Ragnarok has not yet been released, and does not yet have a launch date.

Following Netflix's success with The Witcher, it seems that Amazon is also interested in a TV series based on a computer game - and the choice of God of War and Kratos' story can be a fascinating plot that will attract a large audience - just like the games themselves.



This is not the only TV series based on an exclusive Sony game that is expected to reach us in the future, and Naughty Dog is working with HBO on a television adaptation of The Last of Us, starring Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones, Narcos, Mandelorian) and Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones, The Girl ) As Joel Valley.

Also a TV series based on Twisted Metal starring Anthony Mackie (The Avengers, Falcon and the Winter Soldier) is in the process of being developed for the Peacock network.



Sony also recently released the cinematic version of Uncharted (which gets particularly lukewarm reviews), and also announced a movie based on the game Ghost of Tsushima.

Sony seems to have finally realized the potential in the plots and characters that their exclusive games provide.



Amazon's streaming service is going full force on computer-based series, having already announced Fallout starring Walton Goggins (The Defender, Private Justice), and a series on Mass Effect.
