News God of War Will Conceal Its Rage from PSX 2016
That's not Norse
God of War will suck up its anger and bottle it up for another day, as director Cory Barlog has insinuated that the reboot will not be at PSX 2016 later this year.

E3 2016 Lost Planet 3 Writers Penning God of War PS4's Story
Good news
We commented during Sony's E3 2016 press conference that the writing in God of War's spectacular PlayStation 4 revival seemed really strong, and now we know why: Rich Gaubert and Matt Sophos – the scripting double-act behind the surprisingly tenderly written Lost Planet 3 – are handling most of the story. Good news, then. While Lost...

Oh, Mummy
God of War is back, and it's looking better than we ever could have imagined. Kratos has returned, but this time he's got a new set of Gods to deal with – all from Norse legend.

E3 2016 God of War PS4's Set After God of War III
Not a total reboot, then
One question we had following God of War's amazing demo during Sony's E3 2016 press conference this week is whether it's a continuation of the events that have taken place in previous games – or if it's just a complete reboot, with Kratos pulled into a different mythology. According to creative director Cory Barlog,...

Get lost, Kratos
We've never shied away from saying that we hope that the next God of War game, in development for the PlayStation 4, represents a serious departure for the series.

News God of War PS4 Theme Celebrates Series' Anniversary with Discount
Half-price for one week only
Now at ten years of age, Kratos is probably a little too old to be shouting obscenities at Greek Gods – but what the heck, he wouldn't be the same ash encased anger therapy patient that we all know and love if he called it a day. Last week's God of War III Remastered announcement was supposed to celebrate the series in...
