Based on Deadline, showrunner/government producer Rafe Judkins and EPs Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus have exited the mission after finishing a number of scripts for the present’s first season.

Judkins stays dedicated to his total take care of Sony and continues to work on different initiatives linked to the flagship studio.
When Sony introduced the God of Warfare TV sequence, its plot intently adopted the occasions of the hit online game franchise’s final two chapters. In 2022, Sony mentioned the present “follows Kratos, aka the God of War, who, after exiling himself from his blood-soaked past in ancient Greece, hangs up his weapons forever in the Norse realm of Midgard. When his beloved wife dies, Kratos sets off on a dangerous journey with his estranged son to spread her ashes from the highest peak—his wife’s final wish. Kratos soon realizes the journey is an epic quest in disguise, one which will test the bonds between father and son and force Kratos to battle new Gods and monsters for the fate of the world.”
Universally beloved by players, the God of Warfare sequence started on Sony’s PlayStation 2 console.

Every chapter has set Kratos in opposition to new threats and constructed upon his intensive ability set. In 2018, Sony rebooted God of Warfare and launched Kratos’ son, Atreus, a Greek and Norse pantheon hybrid.

How a lot cash are the studios prepared to spend on a present doubtlessly as epic as The Wheel of Time or The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Energy? Okay, possibly God of Warfare isn’t Lord of the Rings ranges of huge, however you perceive what I imply. It might be some time till we hear extra about this mission. I hope they determine it out and current one thing to look ahead to.
