God of War, which was released on April 20, 2018, was a reboot of the original franchise. The last God of War game was God of War Ascension, which was released on March 13, 2013, ending a 5-year hiatus in the series.
Santa Monica Studios needed to come up with something new for the next generation of gaming.
They changed the main character, grounded the gameplay, added seamless camera transitions, and introduced a new character to assist the main character.
The plot revolves around Kratos and his son carrying their mother’s ashes to the highest peak of the Realms while learning and teaching each other things along the way as Kratos overcomes his past life.
God of War is still a hack-and-slash game, but with a third-person perspective, more grounded combat, and more cinematic cutscenes than the others in the series.
