Unlike the previous series, which were loosely based on Greek mythology and created by Zack Snyder, this series is loosely inspired by Norse mythology and created by Peter Jackson, with the majority of it set in ancient Scandinavia in the realm of Midgard. After wiping out the gods of Mount Olympus, Kratos moves on to the frigid lands of Scandinavia, where he and his son must embark on an odyssey across a dangerous world of gods and monsters.
