God of War

God of War follows Kratos, who has left his vengeance against the Gods of Olympus behind and now lives in the realm of Norse gods and monsters. He must survive this harsh world and teach his son, Atreus, to do the same. As Atreus’s mentor and protector, Kratos also has to control the rage that has long defined him.

The Norse realm

The game’s world draws on pre-Viking Norse lore, with forests, mountains and caves replacing the marble and columns of Olympus. It has its own pantheon of creatures, monsters and gods.

Combat

An over-the-shoulder camera brings you close to fights against Norse creatures. Combat is physical and demanding, and a new main weapon and new abilities carry forward the series’ defining spirit while presenting a different vision of conflict.

PC features

On supported devices, the PC version offers true 4K resolution and unlocked framerates. Graphics options include presets and settings for higher-resolution shadows, improved screen-space reflections, GTAO and SSDO. It also supports NVIDIA DLSS on select Nvidia GPUs and NVIDIA Reflex on GeForce GPUs.

The game supports DUALSHOCK 4 and DUALSENSE wireless controllers, other gamepads, and customizable mouse-and-keyboard bindings. It also supports 21:9 ultra-widescreen.
