God of War (2018) story recap Image: Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive Entertainment Ascension takes place before the original God of War and pits Kratos against the Furies. Thanatos, the god of death, kills Kratos’ brother, leading Kratos - as usual - to exact revenge. Ghost of Sparta (PSP) follows Kratos as he searches for his mother, Callisto, and his brother, Deimos. Chains of Olympus (PSP) sees Kratos stop Persephone - the wife of Hades - from using the Titan Atlas to destroy the world. The non-mainline God of War games are technically canon but aren’t terribly impactful on the broader narrative. All of this destruction essentially destroys Greece, turning it into an uninhabitable wasteland.įinally, Kratos succeeds in his mission to end the Greek pantheon, kills Zeus, and jumps off of Mount Olympus, seemingly to his doom. Over the course of God of War 3, Kratos kills almost the entire pantheon, starting with Hades and working his way through Hercules, Hermes, Hephaestus, Hera, and more. The death of Zeus’ brother floods the lands around Mount Olympus, and Kratos continues his assault. Kratos inflicts the first major casualty on the Greek pantheon in the opening minutes: Poseidon, the god of the sea. God of War 3, which came out in 2010 on PlayStation 3, begins with the battle to take Olympus. Furious that he’s suffered yet another loss at his/the gods’ hands, Kratos rejoins with the Titans and prepares to assault Mount Olympus head-on. Soon thereafter, Athena (one of Kratos’ only allies in Olympus) sacrifices herself to save Zeus. Kratos then learns that Zeus is his father - essentially meaning Kratos is a demi-god. Kratos is rescued by Gaia the Titan and works with her to attempt to assassinate Zeus. The other gods aren’t happy about this, and Zeus betrays Kratos, stabbing him through the chest with the Sword of Olympus (hence Kratos’ gnarly tummy scar you may have noticed in the 2018 game and in pre-release footage for Ragnarok). God of War 2, released in 2007 on PS2, picks up years (likely centuries) after the first game and sees Kratos abusing his new godhood by wreaking havoc across Greece with his Spartan armies. In the end, Kratos kills Ares and inherits the dead god’s former title, becoming the new god of war.

Their ashes were then bound to his skin, giving him the ashy white hue he’s known for - as well as his “Ghost of Sparta” nickname.ĭuring the first game, Kratos runs through a series of tasks to grant him the power to face down Ares himself. Why was Kratos so angry, you might ask? Because after being granted extreme power by Ares, the Greek god of war, Kratos was tricked into slaughtering his own wife and daughter during a village raid. Set in ancient Greece, the hack-and-slash action game starred Kratos, an extremely angry general of the Spartan armies.
The original God of War came out in 2005 on PlayStation 2. The original God of War trilogy story recap Image: Santa Monica Studio/Sony Interactive Entertainment If you’re confused about a plot beat or can’t quite parse a side character’s errant remark, you’ll find the answer here. As you’re playing God of War Ragnarök, keep this page handy. What follows is a thorough accounting of every important narrative beat in the God of War series - from the Ghost of Sparta’s days in Greece through his more recent adventures (i.e., pissing off the entire Norse pantheon). (Frankly, if you either haven’t played the 2018 game or are fuzzy on the narrative details, the video is likely to leave you more confused.) For its part, God of War Ragnarök at least attempts to catch players up to speed: There’s a two-minute recap video accessible from the main menu, but it’s vaguely structured and light on details. And even with the 2018 refresh creating a relatively clean break from the series’ original Greek era, it still featured a few key aspects of Kratos’ past that played into the game’s narrative.

God of War Ragnarök is the fifth main game in the iconic PlayStation series - and that’s not including all the spinoffs: two PSP games, a mobile game, a text-based game, and a full-fledged prequel, God of War: Ascension, for PS3.
For all its bluster and bravado, the God of War series really just wants to tell a story.
