In a time when the gods ruled both Olympus and man, Kratos, a ruthless Spartan warrior, finds himself on the edge of despair. Haunted by visions of his past and tormented by the blood on his hands, Kratos seeks to end his suffering. Once a feared commander, he was saved from death by the war god Ares—only to be molded into a brutal weapon of divine destruction. But after being tricked into murdering his own wife and child in a blind rage, Kratos turns his wrath against the very god he once served. Now, under the watchful gaze of Athena, Kratos is given a final chance at redemption. To kill a god—Ares himself—and end the nightmare, he must journey across war-torn Greece, face mythical beasts, and survive the deadly trials of Pandora’s Temple to retrieve the one weapon capable of slaying a god: the Blade of the Gods.
