The God of War franchise includes several games, with a new one due out this year. As a result, you may want to catch up with the Sony-exclusive franchise’s story by playing all of the games released in recent years.
However, because there are so many God of War games, it may be difficult to decide which ones to play first. To get the best experience, I recommend playing them in the order they were released.
In terms of release date, here’s how you should play the God of War games in chronological order:
- The God of War 2005
- The sequel to God of War
- God of War: Olympus Chains
- God of War 3
- God of War: Sparta’s Ghost
- Ascension of God of War
- The God of War 2018
What God of War games should I play first?
Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta are the first games to play in terms of timeline. It tells the story of Kratos before he was captured by Ares in God of War 2005. Then, as the games progress through the timeline, you can play them in chronological order.
