Grab your oversized axe-sword-blades and start “hmm”-ing as deep as you can before saying “boy” and/or “f*ck” because God of War has been confirmed for a live-action TV adaptation from Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions!
Amazon is also in trying to gain exclusivity rights to the show on streaming platforms… God, I would pay good money to see Jeff Bezos as Kratos! I mean, the most powerful bald guy in gaming played by the most powerful bald guy in real life? Match made in heaven right there.
Meet the Crew: Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby of The Expanse (sci-fi mystery thriller) will be working with showrunner Rafe Judkins (Wheel of Time). Cast information is currently unknown, though there will seemingly be reveals of different roles in the coming months. Check our store if you want in on the mainline God of War series for yourself!
Wanna know what else is unknown? When the game will take place and what it will explore (not that I’m complaining… for now). The God of War soft reboot-remake-re-sequelathon is already incredibly cinematic and boasts the gaming feat of having fewer cuts than a Disney-dubbed Studio Ghibli film after being mailed a Samurai sword by Miyazaki.
Alternatively, the show could take place in the nebulous time period between Kratos killing Zeus and Atreus being born. Alternatively alternatively, hitting similar story and character beats as the first few games without feeling shackled to any one story could work well, considering how Arcane did gangbusters with that formula… Alternatively alternatively ALTERNATIVELY-
Honestly? I think the folks at PlayStation should take the Cuphead route and adapt stuff that has less of a story-heavy leaning. Between this and the 2023 Last of Us show coming up, they’d have to be at least somewhat better or differently good in a lot of ways, considering they’re both essentially playable movies.
On a related note, the car-battling destruction simulator that is Twisted Metal will also be getting a TV adaptation. I’m no Twisted Metal lore-daddy, but I do know it’s claim to fame consists of having a fugly killer clown mascot and more mutually-beneficial explosions than the Fallout games!
