A very old project that has been immersed in the abyss of “Developmental Hell” for over ten years to never get out of it, the fabulous video game license from God of War on the Sony Playstation will be adapted into series for Amazon Prime!
This is a statement that sounds like a decent thunderbolt from Zeus! The legendary video game God of War, created by Santa Monica Studios and exclusively for the Sony Playstation, will soon be released not in the movie, but in the TV series, under the benevolent umbrella of Amazon Prime. As well as Playstation Productions.
Ironically, moreover, the same structure in 2019, at the time of its creation, confirmed that the issue of viewing this license adaptation screen soon is not an issue, or, in any case, it was not a priority. Moment …
This upcoming series will be overseen by a duo of Mark Ferguson and Hawk Ostby, behind the series The Expanse, and showman Raff Jadkins, to whom we owe The Wheel of Time. The latter is also – and this, obviously, is no coincidence – the screenwriter in the film Uncharted, another exclusive license from Sony, as well as the upcoming adaptation of The Division on Netflix.
Created by David Jaffe and Shannon Studentstyle, God of War came out on the PlayStation 2 in 2005. In mythological Greece, the story follows the adventures of a Spartan warrior, Kratos (not), who encounters almost all bestist mythology (Medusa, Cyclops, Minotaurs, etc.) until they destroy the gods of Olympus themselves in the extraordinary God of War 3 and his hair. With camera movements, which was released on the PS3 in March 2010.
Watch the trailer …
In 2018, a new opus was released, vigilantly called the God of War, which served both a reload and an extension. This time Kratos was immersed in Scandinavian mythology. Result ? Picturesque! We’ve been doing this here for a long time.
Here is what it looked like …
Announced at the teaser show in September 2020, where Sony Playstation has unveiled its new console and upcoming game catalog, in the sequel, titled God of War: Ragnarök, its release date has been postponed until 2022.

The Old Sea Snake Queen category includes an adaptation of God’s War License. In 2008, Universal Studios, which then owned the rights, announced, with great concern from fans, that Brett Ratner would be directing the film.
Since then, not only has the Hollywood Yes Man’s participation remained only distant memories, but in 2012 the Major asked the screenwriting duo Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton to work on a new screenplay. The duo especially stood behind the Pacific script of Guillermo del Toro’s film.
And since? nothing. The project was sinking into the abyss of development before this loud announcement.
Against the background of the license, we will have to place a special effects package and therefore generously open the bag. Whatever the problem for Amazon, which can spend $ 1 billion on serial adaptation of The Lord of the Rings.
Now the crucial question is: who will have shoulders wide enough to embody an angry Spartan? We would love to read your recommendations on this topic. Your keyboards!
