PS4 Exclusive God Of War Gets April Release Date

Kratos and Atreus facing off against a monster

God of War fans, your wait is nearly over! Sony Interactive recently announced the release date for the PlayStation 4 exclusive title, and you have only a few more months to wait. It officially releases on 20th April 2018, you can get your digital pre-order in today!

Join Kratos In His New Beginning

Kratos might have earned his vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years ago, but now, it’s time for him to face a whole new pantheon.

Kratos and Atreus facing off against a monster

A man who lives outside the shadow of the gods, Kratos must adapt to unfamiliar lands and unexpected threats. All this, while also making the most of his second chance at being a father. Together with his son Atreus, the pair will venture into the brutal Norse wilds, and fight to fulfil a deeply personal quest.

In this brutal real of Norse gods and monsters, Kratos must fight to survive, and teach his son to do the same. This startling reimagining of God of War deconstructs the core elements that defined the series (satisfying combat, breathtaking scale, and a powerful narrative) and fuses them anew.

Kratos talking to a monster

This entry in the iconic series beings Kratos from the marble and columns of ornate Olympus to the gritty forests, mountains, and caves of Pre-Viking Norse lore. This distinctly new realm comes with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters, and gods. The game has an added emphasis on discovery and exploration, and is by far the largest in the franchise.

An over the shoulder free camera that brings you closer to the action than ever before. Fights in God of War mirror the pantheon of Norse creatures that Kratos will face: grand, gritty, and gruelling. A new main weapon and new abilities retain the defining spirit of the series, while presenting a vision of violent conflict that forges new ground in the genre.
