God of War is a fantasy action-adventure role playing game which takes Kratos to strange new lands; the frozen Migration Era north. Developed by Santa Monica Studio and Sony Interactive Entertainment, it is the eighth game in the God of War franchise. This time, however, the setting and themes are based on Norse mythology, not that of Ancient Greece. Kratos has experienced some major changes over the years. For starters, he now has a son who he is both mentor to and protector of. In addition, he has given up his signature chained blades for a mighty battle axe, and must find a way to master the rage that has driven him for many years.
