God of War Digital Deluxe Edition

About the game

God of War places Kratos in the harsh Norse wilds, where he lives as a man outside the shadow of the gods and becomes a father again. With his son Atreus, who is determined to earn his respect, he sets out on a deeply personal quest across forests, mountains and caves inhabited by creatures and gods of Norse mythology. The game is made for a single player and combines exploration of this realm with combat against its monsters and deities. Fights are vicious and physical, shown through an over-the-shoulder camera that brings the action closer, and Kratos uses a new main weapon and new abilities. As mentor and protector, he must also deal with the rage that has long defined him. This reimagining of the series deconstructs its core elements and fuses them anew, with added emphasis on discovery and exploration of the largest world in the franchise.

This edition includes the God of War PS4™ Dynamic Theme, the “Exile’s Guardian” Shield Skin, “Death’s Vow” Armor for Kratos and “Death’s Vow” Armor for Atreus alongside the game itself. These items provide theme, shield and armor appearance options for Kratos and Atreus. It suits those who want such additions to the game.

Description from PS Store

From Santa Monica Studio and creative director Cory Barlog comes a new beginning for one of gaming’s most recognizable icons. Living as a man outside the shadow of the gods, Kratos must adapt to unfamiliar lands, unexpected threats, and a second chance at being a father. Together with his son Atreus, the pair will venture into the brutal Norse wilds and fight to fulfill a deeply personal quest. • Bold New Beginning — His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse Gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he 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. • A Second Chance — Kratos is a father again. As mentor and protector to Atreus, a son determined to earn his respect, he is forced to deal with and control the rage that has long defined him while out in a very dangerous world with his son. • A Darker, More Elemental World — From the marble and columns of ornate Olympus to the gritty forests, mountains, and caves of Pre-Viking Norse lore, this is a distinctly new realm with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters, and gods. With an added emphasis on discovery and exploration, the world will draw players in to explore God of War’s breathtakingly threatening landscape—by far the largest in the franchise. • Vicious, Physical Combat — With an over the shoulder free camera that brings the player closer to the action than ever before, fights in God of War mirror the pantheon of Norse creatures Kratos will face: grand, gritty, and grueling. A new main weapon and new abilities retain the defining spirit of God of War while presenting a vision of violent conflict that forges new ground in the genre.
