In ancient times, when Greek gods ruled Olympus and unrestrained violence was commonplace, there was a god named Kratos. Known for his unwavering ferocity, he was feared even by his divine peers. But tragedy and remorse darkened his existence.

Kratos' story is a journey of redemption. It begins when he is tricked by Ares, the god of war, into killing his own wife and daughter. Haunted by nightmares and the weight of his sin, Kratos seeks to break free from the bonds of his past and put an end to his life of senseless destruction.

He leaves ancient Greece and arrives in the lands of the Norse gods in the company of his son, Atreus. Together, they carry his wife's ashes to the top of a mountain, following her final wish. This journey is the starting point of an epic odyssey filled with dangers, discoveries, and transformation.

The relationship between Kratos and Atreus is at the heart of the story. Kratos, a father tormented by his past and his inability to show affection, struggles to guide his son in a world teeming with mythological creatures and divine beings.
